Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners happen to be the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased. They have never asked dowry from the deceased neither they involved in killing of her, rather, the fact remains that the deceased committed suicide out of her frustration. Learned counsel further submits that charge-sheet has already been submitted against the petitioners. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent. He further submits that petitioners have surrendered in this case on 27.11.2025; as such, the petitioners may be enlarged on bail. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioners are ready to abide by every condition imposed by this court.
