Perusal of the record shows that the applicant is the mother-in-law of the deceased. Her presence in the house at the relevant time is not being disputed. There is nothing on record to show that the applicant who is the mother-in-law of the deceased and 'Dadi' of the minor son of deceased made any attempt whatosever to save the daughter-inlaw and her own grand son. She has not received any injury. She as it appears at this stage made no attempt whatsoever to save the deceased and her son. The death of the deceased occurred within three years of the marriage in the house of the husband under unnatural circumstances, even the minor son died of burn injuries.
