There is general and omnibus allegation leveled against them in the F.I.R with regard to demand of dowry. The petitioners are also staying separate in mess from the deceased and her husband. It has further been submitted that as a matter of fact the deceased was suffering from some disease from the year 2013 for which treatment was going on in the hospital and a prescription along with the test report has also been annexed as Annexure-P/3 to the petition.
3/4 Learned counsel for the petitioners also draws the attention of this Court to paragraph no. 9 of the case diary in which contains the statement of driver of the vehicle in which the deceased was taken to the hospital for treatment and a perusal of the same would show that through out the way the deceased remained unwell. Learned counsel further submits in paragraph 11 of the petition that the husband of the deceased Satish Kumar Singh is in custody. They undertake to co-operate in investigation/trial.
5. The application for bail is opposed by learned APP for the State.
