In the FIR, it is inter alia stated that on 30.10.2020 the de facto complainant gave a complaint stating that the petitioner/accused took his daughter out of the house three times saying that he would marry her but he did not marry. On that his daughter was mentally depressed and vexed on life and consumed unknown pesticide poison and died. Hence, the complaint.

Learned counsel for the petitioner/ accused would submit that the petitioner is innocent of the offence and he is no way concerned with the alleged offence. The petitioner/ accused is a law-abiding citizen and is prepared to abide by any condition which this Court may deem fit to impose in case of granting anticipatory bail. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner/ accused.

As seen from the contents of the F.l.R., there are specific allegations against the petitioner/ accused that he promised the deceased to marry her and took her out of the house many times but did not marry her and so, she got depressed and died by consuming poison.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of the offence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner/ accused. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. Miscellaneous applications, if any, pending sha1l stand closed.
