Petitioner is husband of the victim lady in a case under Section 304B of the IPC. The FIR lodged by widow mother of the deceased discloses that she could not meet the demand of a motorcycle and, therefore, within three years of marriage her daughter was killed by strangulation as informed by villagers and her dead body was attempted to be disposed of in a maize field. The Sessions Court has noted that death was found to be due to strangulation. Considering the nature of the offence, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. On behalf of the petitioner it has been submitted that subsequently there has been a compromise. This aspect of the matter may be raised - 2 - before the court concerned at the time of consideration of regular bail application which should be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. sk (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
