The present applicant has abused her during one of the phone call. On the basis of this recording, present applicant has been implicated.

It is stated that the call recording is of 03.09.2022 whereas the deceased committed suicide on 10.09.2022. Relying on the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Sanjay Sengar Vs. State of M.P.
reported in AIR 2002 SC 1998, it is stated that no offence under Section 305 of IPC is made out as the ingredients of Section 107 of IPC are missing.
Learned counsel for the complainant as well as counsel for the State have stated that only on the basis of the call recording of deceased, the present applicant has been implicated.
Considering the case diary and the call recording of the deceased, without adverting to the merits of the case, this application is allowed.
It is directed that applicant be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court/committal Court for her appearance on the dates given by the concerned Court. It is further directed that the applicant shall also comply with the provisions of Section 437(3) of Cr.P.C.
