2. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Session Trial No. 961 of 2024 (arising out of Muffasil P.S. Case No. 959 of 2023) registered for the offences under Section 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

3. As per the prosecution case, the informant's daughter was married to the petitioner around five years ago and on account of non-fulfillment of demand of dowry she was being subjected to torture by the family members of the petitioner and they had also threatened to kill her. On 29.11.2023, it is stated that informant learned that the family members including the petitioner had killed her daughter.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

2/4 petitioner happens to be the husband of the deceased/ daughter of the informant and has falsely been implicated on account of extracting money from the petitioner. It is further submitted that from perusal of Annexure-2 i.e. the medical prescription of the wife of the petitioner (deceased), it would be evident that she was suffering with some illness and was under treatment prior to death. It has further been submitted that from the perusal of postmortem report it would appear that no antemortem injuries were found on the body of the deceased and the viscera was preserved and sent for FSL report. Learned counsel points out that the viscera was called for by this Court and from perusal of the same it is found that 'no metallic, Alkaloidal, Glycosidal, Pesticidal or Volatile poison could be detected in the contents of the plastic jar'.

The learned counsel thus submits that from the FSL report also it would appear that there was no poison administered to the deceased and hence the allegation against the petitioner is false and concocted and he has clean antecedent and is languishing in custody since 29.07.2024.

5. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and has stated that the death of the wife of the petitioner occurred within seven years marriage.
