¶21

preparations were being made by the family for performing Shradh of her mother-in-law, when the husband of the informant (deceased) was asked for his contribution for performing Shradh. When the deceased denied to pay on the pretext of his not being in possession of any money at that time, all the accused persons who are directly related to the deceased, are stated to have killed him by strangulating.

¶22

Mr. Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner no. 1 is the father of the deceased whereas petitioners no. 2, 3 and 4 are the brother and sisters of the deceased respectively. Petitioner no. 5 is the brother-in-law of the deceased.

¶23

There appears to be some family dispute and the cause of death is also not known. It also does not appear to be probable that such an occurrence would take place in a house where already there had been a death of the motherin-law of the informant and preparation was being made for performing her Shradh.

¶24

The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the fact of the matter is something else than what meets the
