Apart from this, there are allegations about illtreatment on account of unlawful demands. As far as unlawful demands are concerned, they are common to the applicant, applicant's son i.e. victim's husband and the applicant's wife. Applicant's wife was granted anticipatory bail by the Sessions Court by order dated 29th June, 2011 and the applicant's son i.e victim's husband has been admitted to bail by this Court by order dated 4th August, 2011. Therefore as far as unlawful demands are concerned, there is no warrant for detaining the applicant in prison pending investigation. The allegations of raping daughter in law for 2 and half years 2 ba 1358 of 2011 would appear heinous. However, the very fact that for 2 and half years the daughter-in-law had not disclosed would warrant the applicant’s being admitted to bail. In view of this, the application is allowed.
