It is submitted that petitioner No. 2 and 3 are the husband and wife and they are separate from very earlier with the husband of the complainant and the petitioner No. 1 is still living with them and therefore demand of the dowry from the complainant does not arise by the petitioners and they have no connection with the husband of the complainant.
