Indra Devi, who is in jail in connection with crime No. 16 of 2009, relating to offences punishable under Section 302, 201 of I.P.C., Patwari Circle Bayard Gaon, Tehsil Tehri, District Tehri Garhwal, has sought her release on bail. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Applicant is mother-in-law of the deceased. The dead body of the deceased is said to have been found in ‘CHAANI’ (shed) of the applicant. The ante mortem injuries recorded in the postmortem examination report show that the deceased was beaten before setting her on fire. Apart from this, the applicant appears to have made a false report to the Patwari of the area to mislead the police that her daughter-in-law (deceased) had ran away and vanished from the village. Having considered submissions of learned counsel for the parties, this Court is of the view that it is not a fit case for granting bail. The bail application is rejected. [ (Prafulla.C. Pant, J.)
