Heard Mr. Lokendra Dobhal, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Nandan Arya, A.G.A. for the State. Perused the record. It was contended on behalf of the applicant that the only evidence against the applicant is that the harassment was made to the deceased; the statement of Bhagwat is annexed with the counter affidavit in which it has been stated that in the night there was a scuffle 12-13 days before the incident in between the deceased and her husband; the case rests upon the circumstantial evidence; and the chain of circumstances is not complete against the applicant. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and perusal of the FIR and the statements annexed with the counter affidavit, I am of the view that it is a fit case for bail. Let the applicant/accused be released on bail on executing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate concerned. (J.C.S. Rawat,, J.)
