5. Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that, as per the F.I.R., there is a specific allegation that the informant's daughter was killed due to non-fulfilment of dowry demand.

6. In this background, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioners in connection with Dhaka P.S. Case No. 614 of 2025, pending before the learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sikrahana at Dhaka, East Champaran at Motihari is hereby rejected.

7. However, if the petitioners surrender before the Trial Court within six weeks from today, the Trial Court is directed to pass an order on their surrender-cum-bail application on the same day, without being prejudiced by the fact that the petitioners' anticipatory bail has been rejected by this Court.
