Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304B and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The wife of this petitioner died in unnatural circumstances within few years of her marriage in her matrimonial house. There is allegation of demand of dowry and torture for the same before death. The allegation has been supported by other maternal family members of the deceased.
