JUSTICE MANDHATA SINGH ORAL ORDER 05 14-03-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Relation between the wife, husband and their family members were strained. Ground for bail was made to save skin in the bail petition. Submission of learned counsel for the Opposite Party Nos.2 and 3 is that either it was mistake of lawyer due to slip of tongue or of the Court in adding [STATUTE] ., but in any case merit of the case was in favour of Opposite Party Nos.2 and 3 to allow them on bail. So, I find it not a fit case in which cancellation of bail can be ordered. Accordingly, prayer is hereby rejected. Vikash/- (Mandhata Singh, J)
