It has also been alleged that three children of his daughter were also missing and thus, the entire family of the husband of the deceased was made accused in the present case.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it would be apparent from the FIR itself that the marriage of the informant's daughter dates back to the year 2013 and after a lapse of so many years, there is no question of demand of dowry and the consequent torture with regard thereof. It is further submitted that as a matter of fact, the daughter of the informant had committed suicide and since the petitioner and his family had cremated the dead body, it is due to such reason that they have all been made accused in the present case. It is further submitted that three children of the deceased did not go missing rather they are staying along with their grandmother, who is wife of the present petitioner and such fact has also been stated in para 8 of the petition. It is next submitted that the independent witnesses, who have been examined during the course of investigation, have also supported the fact that it was a case of suicide and not murder. Further, it is submitted that charge sheet has already been submitted against the petitioner
