CRL OP(MD). No.4302 of 2020 3.The petitioner's earlier petition was dismissed by this Court on 21.02.2020. The petitioner's wife is the deceased in this case.

4.I went through her dying declaration. She had categorically stated that though theirs was a love marriage, the deceased used to torture her almost on a daily basis citing her childlessness. On the occurrence date i.e., 05.01.2020, the petitioner is said to have poured petrol on her and set fire to her.

5.The petitioner's counsel would claim that the petitioner also suffered, while trying to rescue her. It is possible that while setting fire to the deceased, the petitioner sustained burn injuries.

6.In view of the gruesome nature of the occurrence, I dismiss the petitioner's earlier bail petition. There is no change in circumstance. Hence, this criminal original petition stands dismissed.
