From the aforesaid wedlock, both the husband and wife blessed with three children. However, after some time she was subjected to demand of dowry and on account of nonfulfillment of the same, she was tortured in various ways, resulting into institution of the present F.I.R.

4. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that admittedly the husband of the informant is not an accused in this case and only on account of some oblique reason, in order to wreak vengeance, the present case has been instituted against the petitioners, who are non-else, but the parents-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law of opposite party no.2. He next submits that the allegation of assault is attributed against petitioner no. 3 (Pappu Yadav, who was arrested during the pendency of the present bail application) and petitioner no.4, however, only one injury has been found over the body of opposite party no.2, though the same is simple in nature. He next submits that be that as it may, the petitioners undertake that they will not indulge in such type of activities in future and they will keep the informant with full dignity and honour.
