Petitioner is husband of the deceased (daughter of the informant) and allegation against him is that he alongwith other FIR named accused persons caused death of the deceased. It is submitted that petitioner has neither tortured nor killed the deceased, rather the deceased died due to snake bite. Petitioner has never demanded any dowry from the informant. It is further submitted that after death of the deceased, the petitioner informed the informant about the occurrence, but she did not come to participate in the cremation of the deceased. Petitioner is in custody since 05.01.2021.

No.32077 of 2021(3) dt.08-12-2021 2/2 However, learned A.P.P. for the State opposed the bail petition and submitted that petitioner is husband of deceased and there is specific allegation of demand of dowry and due to non-fulfillment of the same, the deceased was subjected to cruelty. Deceased has died in an unnatural circumstances within seven years of marriage at her matrimonial house. Considering the nature and gravity of offence and petitioner is husband of the deceased, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and same is, accordingly, rejected.
