Considering nature of allegation against the petitioner for the offence under sections 304 B and other allied offences of the Indian Penal Code and her status being of a married Nanad, about whom neither there is any specific allegation of demand of dowry nor causing injury on the person of the deceased and thus even if the prosecution version is believed the allegation against the petitioner remains confined to not saving the deceased from being assaulted by the husband, this Court, by making a clear distinction between her case and the cases of other family members including the mother-in-law and the husband would be inclined to grant of anticipatory bail only on the ground that she is a married Nanad and usually not expected to interfere with life of his brother and/or wife (Bhabhi) on account of her having a separate establishment after her marriage.
