1991 for being irregular and for remainingon frequent long leave. The deceased has also left behind her two minor childrenborn on 17. 1. 1989 and 8. 2. 1991 at AIIMS according to the petitioner the expenses forwhich were borne by the petitioner. There is no one in the family of the petitionerto look after his mother and two minor children. ( 5 ) THE Counsel for the State, however, has stated that all the treatment are inthe name of the deceased and it is not possible to say as to who has spent the moneyfor the treatment of the petitioner. ( 6 ) HE further argued that all these documents may be the defence of thepetitioner. I am not in agreement with the arguments advanced by the Counsel forthe State. From 1987tillthedeceaseddiedin0ctober, 1991 there is nothing adverseon record against the petitioner which may disentitle him bail as there is no pasthistory. Even otherwise it is not for me to decide as to whether the money for thetreatment was spent by the petitioner or by the deceased herself. I would also notlike to express my opinion on the merits of the case as it would influence the trial. ( 6 ) AFTER hearing arguments advanced by the learned Counsel for the partiesand perusing the documents on record. I feel that it is a fit case more so in theinterest of the minor children that the petitioner should be released on bail. In thecircumstances of the case, I order for the release of the petitioner on bail on hisfurnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs. 20,000. 00 with one surety in the likeamount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court/deputy Magistrate. The petitionerwill not leave the territorial jurisdiction of this Court without prior permission ofthis Court.
