After completion of investigation, police filed a charge-sheet against the accused-appellant for the offence under Section 302 IPC.

(3.) The accused-appellant was examined under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and she was confronted with the evidence adduced against her during the course of trial to which she denied and stated that she was innocent and had been falsely implicated in the case. There was no fight between her husband and herself. Their relations were cordial. Her father-in-law Ganga Ram was not on talking terms with her husband and for this reason, Ganga Ram was keeping enmity with her and her husband. Her husband committed suicide by hanging for this reason only. She further stated that at the time of incident, she was sleeping with her kids in the pakka constructed house. She came to know in the morning that her husband had committed suicide during the night. Ganga Ram and his brothers Jetha Ram and Amraram etc. hatched a conspiracy and changed the place of incident and created a false story thereby falsely implicating her.
