case and remain physically present on each and every date till the conclusion of the trial and shall not indulge in tampering with the prosecution evidence or influence the witnesses or gain over them. The petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 04.08.2023 without any rhymes and reasons. Hence the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned Addl. P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submitted that there is direct allegation against the petitioner of demanding additional dowry from the deceased and caused dowry death. Hence, the petitioner may not be enlarged on bail. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, it appears that petitioner has caused dowry death to the deceased within 2 months
of the marriage in her matrimonial home while she was under the custody of the petitioner and also in view of the gravity of offence committed by petitioner and materials showing his involvement in the alleged offence. Hence, I am not inclined to release the above named petitioner on bail at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer of bail of petitioner is rejected.
