He submitted that the husband and the son of the Applicant have been arrested in connection with the said crime and there is no one to look after the minor children of the deceased daughter-in-law of the Applicant. 3.

The allegation is that on earlier day i.e. 6th August 2005 the deceased had informed her father on telephone that the Applicant,the father in law of the deceased and her husband - 2 - had assaulted her. 4.

At this stage, the learned Counsel for the applicant prays that some time may be granted to surrender. The said request is opposed by the learned A.P.P. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, time is granted till 20th August 2005 to the Applicant to surrender before the Investigating Officer. JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE
