JUDGMENT 1.This is the first bail application filed by the applicant under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. for grant of bail. 2. The applicant is in custody since 16.8.2014 in connection with Crime No. 651/2014 registered at P.S. Kotwali District Damoh for the offence punishable under Sections 304(B), 498-A of IPC and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. 3. As per prosecution it is alleged that deceased Anuradha was subjected to cruelty by her husband Mahesh and his family members in connection with demand of dowry soon before her death. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. She is mother-in-law of deceased Anuradha. There is only general allegation against this applicant in regard to demand of dowry. Trial would take considerable time to conclude, therefore, she be released on bail. 5. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the application. On due consideration of the contention raised by the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the considered view that it is a fit case to release the applicant on bail, therefore, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, the application is allowed and it is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on her furnishing a personal bond in a sum of Rs. 30,000/- (Rupees Thirty Thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the committal Court/trial Court for securing her presence before the said Court on all the dates of hearing fixed in this regard during trial.
