HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION Dated Nainital the 16th March, 2011 1st Bail Application No. 1134 of 2010 Order on the bail application of the accused. Tara Singh Negi S/o Late Dan Singh Negi ……. Applicant Versus State of Uttarakhand …….. Opposite Party In Case Crime No. 17 of 2010 U/S 304-B and 498-A I.P.C. Police Station Dwarahat District Almora Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Heard Shri L.K. Tiwari, the learned counsel for the applicant and Mrs. Mamta Bist, the learned A.G.A. for the State. Rejoinder affidavit is taken on record. The body was recovered from the river after four days from the report lodged by the applicant. The post mortem report indicates that the death was caused by drowning. At the time, when the body was fished out from the river, the applicant and the complainant were both present but the F.I.R. alleging demand of dowry by the applicant and his family members was lodged after 24 hrs. The probability of death on account of demand for dowry does not appear to be probable at this stage since sufficient evidence is not before the Court. The Court further finds that the co-accused, namely, the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law of the deceased have already been enlarged on bail. The applicant, being the husband, is also entitled for similar treatment. Let the applicant be enlarged on bail in Case Crime No. 17 of 2010, U/S 304-B and 498-A I.P.C., on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of Magistrate concerned.
