On account of harassment by the Applicant Nos.1 to 6, she left the matrimonial house and started residing with her parents since 2007. Four months before the incident, the deceased came to know that the Applicant No.1 had married again and, thereafter, she committed suicide by hanging herself on the ceiling of the room. 5. The learned Counsel for the Applicants submits that the deceased was residing with her parents since 2007 and there was no connection with the present Applicants and the deceased. There are no allegations of demand of dowry. It is submitted that the Applicant Nos. 2 to 6 deserve to be released on bail in the event of their arrest. 6. I have perused the complaint. Admittedly, there is no allegation of demand of dowry by the Applicants. Since deceased was residing separately for last two years, it cannot be said that the present Applicants had instigated the deceased or that she committed suicide as a result of physical and mental cruelty by the Applicants. In view of these facts and circumstances, the Applicants deserve to be released on bail in the event of their arrest. 7. The Applicants, in the event of their arrest in connection with C.R.
