A single-judge bench of Allahabad High Court while hearing a Criminal Misc Bail Application filed by a woman accused allowed the bail application of a murder accused, who was summoned in a 'cursory manner' under section 319 of CrPC.
The Court said it is a brazen case of honor killing where family members, including the deceased Jyoti's father, uncle, cousin, and her brother have all participated to put an end to a young life on account of a false sense of family pride, which they have prima facie sought to redeem through this crime.
