Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19979 of 2020(2) dt.12-10-2020 2/3 appears to be right in his submission that allegation of demand of dowry made in the F.I.R., constituting an offence under 304(B) of the I.P.C., is completely vague and does not specify the date etc. when the demand of dowry was made.
