As per first information report, the complainant Badalu Ram was lodged the named FIR against four persons including applicant who is the husband of the deceased making allegations that the accused-applicant and his family members demanded dowry and because of non-fulfilment demand of dowry, they started harassing and committing maar-peet with the deceased. Subsequently, deceased died in suspicious circumstances.
The submissions of learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that during investigation, it was discovered that the deceased with her son jump into well and both died and it was also discovered that contrary to the version of FIR, marriage of the deceased took place in the year 2008 and it shows that the death of the deceased took place after expiry of seven years.

The applicant is languishing in jail since 3.4.2018 hence, he is entitled to bail.
Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant and has submitted that it was a case of dowry death but because of death occurred after expiry of seven years, on that technical reason, the charge sheet has submitted for the offence of abatement to suicide.
