We have considered the materials on record. Victim suffered unnatural death at the matrimonial home. It is alleged that petitioner had demanded dowry. Victim died within one year of marriage. Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.

Trial court is requested to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
