Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the State. Learned APP submits that since the dead body of victim girl was found in the house of applicant, he is responsible for her death. She further sbmits that deceased committed suicide within three years of her marriage and, therefore, presumption under the Evidence Act would be applicable. She submits that on 12.10.09 (wrongly typed as 12.10.10 in the reply) Shweta’s mother had gone to the mother of applicant requesting her not to ill-treat her daughter. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that deceased Shweta was married with applicant Prashant on 12.11.2007 and out of wedlock, they were begotten with daughter (now, 3 years old); there was no written correspondence made between the victim or with any of her paternal relations of alleged ill-treatment filed by the prosecution on record; there is no record of telephone calls/cellphone calls placed on record. 2 2. In view of the fact that prima facie there is no material available on record and that the charge-sheet is is already filed before the trial Court, I am inclined to order release of the applicant on conditional bail. 3.
