Allegation of demand of dowry is general and omnibus and no specific accusation of overt act has been alleged against the petitioner. Thrust of accusation is against husband of deceased who is already in custody since 18.06.2025. Petitioner, having no criminal antecedent, is in custody since 27.08.2025.
