Per contra the learned State counsel, while opposing the prayer and submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions from SI Indraj has apprised the court that besides the allegations levelled in the FIR in question against the petitioner of subjecting his wife to harassment on account of dowry demand, as many as 15 injuries were found on the person of the deceased which were anti-mortem in nature. Learned State counsel submits that the injuries so found on the person of the deceased leave no manner of doubt that she was subjected to physical assault and harassment which thus compelled her to end her life by hanging.

Prima facie there are serious allegations levelled against the petitioner for which he does not deserve the concession of bail. The petition is dismissed. However, it is made clear that any observation made herein shall not be construed as an expression of opinion on the merits of the case.
