Neither he demanded any dowry from the deceased nor he assaulted and tortured her in any manner. The petitioner is rotting in judicial custody since 06.11.2019. Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that there is direct allegation of committing

Moreover, the Post Mortem Report suggests that the deceased died unnaturally. The prosecution witnesses have also supported the prosecution version which is evident from paragraphs 90, 91 and 92 of the case diary.

Having considered the above facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail accordingly the prayer for bail of this petitioner is rejected. (Arvind Srivastava, J) brajesh/- U T
