Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.598 of 2024(2) dt.23-01-2024 2/3 perusal of the F.I.R., it appears that the marriage of the deceased with the co-accused Punit Singh was solemnized in the year 2011 and the informant's daughter died in the year 2023, therefore, no offence is made out under Section 304(B) of the I.P.C. He also submits that the police after investigation has filed the charge sheet under Section 498(A), 306/34 of the I.P.C. against the petitioners and there is no chance of absconding the petitioners or tampering with the evidence.

He further submits that husband of the deceased is already in custody and the petitioners are in custody since 07.09.2023. He also submits that due to some misconception the informant has filed the present case, however, after knowing the true facts he filed the petition before the Court concerned stating that the accused persons are innocent.
