The father of the victim lodged the case alleging only few days prior the petitioner had come to his Sasural and took the wife with him. While at her Sasural, he had pressurized the wife to demand dowry. On the date of occurrence an information was sent that the victim was seriously ill.

Looking to the allegation and the fact that the petitioner is the husband and the death occurred within 07 yeas of her marriage with the petitioner, the Court is not inclined to extend him the privilege of bail. Prayer is accordingly rejected. However, if the trial is not taken up and does not record adequate progress/headway within one year from the date of receipt/communication of this order, the petitioner shall have liberty to renew his prayer for bail in the court below itself.
