The other three accused persons have been granted bail by the Sessions Court by its order dated 10th August, 2010. The applicant is brother-in-law i.e. the husband s brother of ’ one, Nikita who committed suicide by hanging on 8th June, 2010. * 2 * Cri.Appln-3846/2010 Initially her death was registered by the police as ADR. About a month thereafter i.e. on 23rd July, 2010 father of Nikita filed a complaint making allegations of harassment for property against the applicant, his wife and the parents of the applicant. The complaint does not make any allegations against the husband of Nikita. 2. The complaint alleges that the applicant and his parents had been harassing Nikita over the demand for a Maruti Car. It has also been alleged that the applicant did not like visits of Nikita to the business premises of the two brothers and had been making comments about her visits every time, she visited the premises. 3. The police papers show that Nikita had left a suicide note in which she has stated specifically that her decision to commit suicide was not influenced by anybody and that no person either from the family of her parents or from the family of husband should be harassed on account of the suicide. Considering the suicide note, the nature of allegations made against the applicant, which allegations are without any particulars and the fact that the other accused persons have already been released on bail, I am of the opinion that the application is required to be granted. The * 3 * Cri.Appln-3846/2010 application is hereby allowed. In the event of the arrest of the applicant in C.R.
