arguing for the petitioner submitted that the wife of the petitioner being short tempered lady, out of domestic quarrel, committed suicide, whereafter as a matter of an afterthought under the garb of dowry demand, the present false case was lodged. It is submitted that the door of room where deceased committed suicide was found closed from inside. It is also submitted that postmortem report of the deceased, nowhere suggest that any external injury was found upon her soon before the occurrence prima facie negating physical assault. It is also pointed that the allegation of dowry demand is appearing very much general and omnibus qua petitioner and he is implicated with this case only for the reason that he is the husband of the deceased. While concluding the argument, it is submitted that investigation of this case is already completed, for which charge-sheet has been submitted, as such, there is no chance of tampering with the evidence.

¶22

by the parents of deceased, consequent upon she was tortured on several occasions and ultimately out of cruelty as committed upon her, she committed suicide in her matrimonial home.

¶23

Considering the aforesaid factual submissions and by taking note of fact as the allegation of raising demand of dowry prima facie appearing specifically against this petitioner, who is the husband coupled with the fact that daughter of the informant/wife of the petitioner, committed suicide in her matrimonial home which also appears prima facie corroborating with postmortem report, accordingly prayer of bail of the petitioner stands rejected herewith for the present.

¶24

Considering the fact as the petitioner remains in custody since 10.10.2024 i.e. almost about one year, the learned trial court is directed to conclude the trial preferably within one year, failing which the petitioner is at liberty to renew the prayer of bail, if so advise.
