reason for occurrence is alleged due to non-fulfillment of demand of motor-cycle in dowry.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated. The deceased died due to ailments and the father of the petitioner himself apprised the family members of the deceased when she was being shifted to the hospital. The learned counsel has submitted further that the doctor who conducted the autopsy, was not definite about the cause of death, and he opined the cause of death as suspected case of poisoning. But the FSL report shows that the viscera did not contain any kind of poisonous substance, which clearly establishes that the victim died due to ailments. The learned counsel has also submitted that, according to the FIR, the accused persons, were brutally assaulting the deceased, but no external injury was found on her person. Other co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court in Cr.Misc.No. 35772 of 2025 under order dated 18.06.2025.
