JAMMU, Jan 24: Principal Sessions Judge Rajouri Shahzad Azeem has rejected bail application of Rukhsana Kouser and Yasmeen Akhter, who are facing trial in a murder case.
According to the police case, deceased Shamshad Begum was married to Jabbar Hussain on 14.04.2017 but on noticing that Jabbar Hussain has developed illicit relations with his sister-in-law (Bhabhi) Rukhsana Kouser, marital relations between deceased and Jabbar Hussain, run into rough weather.
As per prosecution story Jabbar Hussain had much liking and inclination towards Rukhsana Kouser, which caused annoyance to deceased Shahshad Begum therefore all the accused persons hatched a conspiracy to get rid of her. Accordingly, in a pre planned manner, during the intervening night of 12/13 of August 2017, all the accused persons strangulated Shamshad Begum to death.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “application is hit by the bar of Section, 497 CrPC, in granting the bail to applicants, who alleged to have committed offence carrying punishment for death or imprisonment for life”. Accordingly, court dismissed the bail application.
