2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the applicants subjected the deceased cruelty in connection with demand of dowry. The victim sustained severe burn injuries in the matrimonial house. She was admitted in the hospital where she succumbed to death.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicants have been falsely implicated. The deceased may have either committed suicide or suffered burn injury due to accident. Initially, there was no allegation but, later

-2on, it was falsely stated that the deceased was subjected to cruelty in connection with demand of dowry. Learned counsel for the applicant would further submit that the investigation is complete and charge sheet has been filed, therefore, the applicant may be released on bail.

4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposed the bail application. He would submit that the victim died in matrimonial house within three years of marriage. She sustained severe burn injuries and her parents and sister have stated that she was being subjected to cruelty in connection with demand of dowry and soon thereafter, she sustained burn injury.

5. Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, considering the material available on record, no case for grant of bail is made out.

6. The application for grant of bail is accordingly rejected. Sd/------ (Manindra Mohan Shrivastava) Judge Praveen
