Having gone through the charge-sheet and the relevant material collected by the Investigating Officer during the investigation, it is evident that though the deceased and the applicant were residing separately from other family despite the said fact, in the complaint there are allegations against the whole family that they used to ill treat the the deceased and there was a demand of dowry.

All other accused are released on bail and the present applicant is the husband of the deceased. There are two minor children to the
