By the present application, the applicant has approached this Court for his release on bail in connection with CR No.15/2010, registered in Aundha Nagnath Police Station, for the offence punishable u/s.306, 498-A, r/w. 34 of IPC, in which the applicant came to be arrested on 03/02/2010. 2. Heard learned counsel for applicant followed by the submissions of learned APP appearing for State. Perused the documents collected during the investigation. 3. It is not under dispute that the present applicant is the husband of deceased Dhurpada, whose marriage took place on 2 25/12/2008. The alleged incident occurred on 31/01/2010 i.e. within 13 months from the date of marriage. The death of deceased is a suicidal death is also not under dispute. Then the only question remain for consideration is, whether this suicidal death is because of the harassment on the point of dowry or otherwise. There are allegations that the deceased was harassed on the count of demand of dowry, which was not satisfied, hence the present applicant was harassing the deceased under the influence of alcohol. There is direct allegation against the father in law i.e. father of present applicant that, a day prior to the incident, he had been to the residence of parents of deceased and demanded some cash to purchase the motor cycle for the present applicant. A meeting was arranged a week prior to the death of deceased for settlement about harassment at the hands of applicant to the deceased. All these events shows that there is no case for bail when the investigation is in progress. Application sans any merit, hence rejected. 4. It is made clear that these observations are prima facie and the Trial Court not to influence with these observations in case application for bail was filed after completion of investigation.
