Applicant is in detention since 23.11.2023.
2. As per the prosecution story, Sheetal whose marriage was performed with Sunil Noriya on 11.02.2019 committed suicide by hanging herself. It was alleged that applicantwas harassing the deceased for demand of Rs.50,000/- as dowry.
3. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that applicant has not committed any offence. He is innocent. He has been falsely implicated. His marriage waslove marriage with the deceased. Therefore, no question of demand of dowry arises.There was some normal wear and tear in their family life but deceased being ofdiscordant and short tampered nature has committed suicide. Therefore, it is prayed thatapplicant may be released on bail pending the trial.
4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent/State has opposed grantof bail to the applicant.
5. Considering the submissions by learned counsel for the applicant and materialon record and having taken into consideration all the facts and circumstances of the case,but without expressing anything on the merit of the case, I am of the view that it is a casein which further pre-trial detention of the applicant is not warranted. Consequently, thisbail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of bailfiled on behalf of applicant, stands allowed.
6. It is directed that applicant - Sunil Noriya be released on bail on hisfurnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only)with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court, for hisregular appearance before the trial Court during trial with a condition that he shall remainpresent before the concerned Court on all the dates fixed by it during trial.
