Flight attendant’s death: HC grants bail to in-laws
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted bail to the inlaws of a flight attendant who allegedly committed suicide in July, saying the elderly couple was primarily accused of instigating their son against her and not of demanding dowry
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted bail to the in-laws of a flight attendant who allegedly committed suicide in July, saying the elderly couple was primarily accused of instigating their son against her and not of demanding dowry.
While giving the relief to flight attendant, Anissia Batra's parents-in-law R S Singhvi and Sushma Singhvi, Justice Mukta Gupta also said that they have already undergone custodial interrogation and considering the medical condition of the deceased's mother-in-law, who suffers from breast cancer, it was a fit case to grant bail.
"Considering the facts noted above and that in the detailed narration of the deceased (Anissia) to her lawyer the allegations against the petitioners (in-laws) are of instigating their son and not primarily of any demand of dowry, the fact that petitioners have been subjected to custodial interrogation and considering the medical condition of petitioner 2 (Sushma Singhvi) who though has been assigned a greater role as compared to petitioner 1 (R S Singhvi), this court deems it fit to grant bail to the petitioners," the high court said.
It directed that the Singhvis be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000 each with two surety bonds of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the trial court.
The high court further said that the in-laws "will not leave the country without prior permission of the trial court and in case of change in their residential address the same will be intimated to the court concerned."
