JUDGMENT Manoj Kumar Garg, J. - The present bail application has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. The petitioner has been arrested in connection with FIR No.169/2019, Police Station Sadar Kotwali, Jodhpur East for the offence under Sections 498-A, 406 & 306/34 of IPC. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no evidence of abetment to commit suicide against the present petitioner. It is further submitted that similarly situated co-accused Mahendra Soni has already been granted bail by coordinate Bench of this Court and the case of the present petitioner is not distinguishable from that of the co-accused. Challan of the case has already been presented. The petitioner is in judicial custody and the trial of the case will take sufficient long time. Therefore, the benefit of bail should be granted to the accused-petitioner. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application. 4. I have considered the arguments advanced before me and gone through the material available on record. 5. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, without commenting on the merits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to release the petitioner on bail. 6. Accordingly, the bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is ordered that the accused-petitioner Smt. Santosh Soni W/o Sh. Manak Chand shall be enlarged on bail in FIR No.169/2019, Police Station Sadar Kotwali, Jodhpur East provided she furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two sureties of Rs.50,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Judge for her appearance before the court concerned on all the dates of hearing as and when called upon to do so.
