It is contended that the petitioner is sister-in-law (Gotani) of the deceased. It is further contended that the informant himself had stated that marriage was solemnized 7-8 years back. If the marriage was performed eight years back then the matter would not come within the ambit of Section 304 (B) of the Indian Penal Code.
