Counsel for the petitioner submits that a false case has been registered against the petitioner and the allegation against him is that a demand for air conditioner was being made in the month of January, which is highly unbelievable. He has made a reference to the testimony of Sukhdev Singh, complainant and Gurwinder Kaur, Annexures P-1 and P-2, who are parents of the deceased to submit that in their examination-in-chief before the Court, they have specifically stated that no dowry was given nor any such demand has been made by the petitioner or his family members. He submits that it has been further stated by the said witnesses that their daughter was never harassed, rather, she was a patient of depression, who was on medication and she accidently consumed some poisonous substance. Counsel has also made a reference to the cross-examination of the said witnesses, wherein, they have stated that in-laws of their deceased daughter tried their level best to save her life and took her to different hospitals. Counsel submits that the petitioner, who is in custody since 11.02.2021, has an unblemished past and is no longer required for custodial interrogation.
