She has been shown as an accused in C.R.No.64/2010 registered by the Akluj Police station for alleged offences under Sections 306, 323 read with 34 of IPC. The incident in question took place on 23.3.2010 and the deceased Umesh who was a student aged 18 years has committed suicide. As far as present applicant is concerned, the allegation is that she along with other teachers used to harass her son to give the balance donation. The last such allegation against the applicant is dated 17.3.2010. The incident in question took place on 23.3.2010 and on this occasion the allegations are only against the teacher by name Devkar. The complainant has stated that when he reached the school, he found his son outside the class and when he requested the teacher Devkar to allow his son to enter the class, the teacher slapped his son and abused him and later on hit the boy and therefore, feeling humiliated, the boy committed suicide. In this incident there is no role played by the present applicant. Taking into account the fact that the present applicant is a lady and carrying a child of 8 2 months, I am inclined to grant bail to the present applicant. It is therefore, directed that pending her trial in connection with C.R.No.64 of 2010 registered by the Akluj police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that she will report to the Investigating officer as and when called upon him to do so in writing and will attend all the dates of her trial unless exempted.
