Chirala Tehsil & District Almora … Applicant Versus State of Uttarakhand … Opposite Party AND Criminal Bail Application No.411 of 2008 Govind Singh S/o Mohan Singh R/o village Shil P.O. Chirala Tehsil & District Almora … Applicant Versus State of Uttarakhand … Opposite Party Arising out of case crime No.1/2008 Under Sections 304B, 498A IPC and 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act Chalani Patwari Area – Chirala District Almora Hon’ble J.C. S. Rawat, J. Heard Mr. P. S. Adhikari, Senior Advocate with Mr. B. S. Adhikari, Advocate for the applicants, Mr. Nandan Arya, learned A.G.A. for the State and Mr. Navneet Kaushik, Advocate for the complainant. Perused the record. Applicants Govind Singh and Smt. Mohini Devi are the father and mother in law of the deceased respectively. After due consideration of the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties; perusal of the F.I.R. and statements of Kuldeep Singh, Manohar Singh, Kamla Devi, Joga Singh, Champa Devi and Jiwan Singh recorded under section 161 Cr.P.C.; the allegations with regard to the dowry demand are vague; and the fact that the statement of Kamla Devi was recorded on 25th March 2008 after inordinate delay in which she has stated that the motor car was demanded by the applicants, I deem fit and proper to release the applicants on bail. However, it is made clear that the case of husband of the deceased is different from the case of the present applicants. Let the applicants-accused be released on bail on executing a personal bond each and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate concerned. Urgency Application Nos.1542/2008, 1605/2008, 1704/2008, 1943/2008, 2096/2008 and 2212/2008 are disposed of accordingly. (J.C.S.Rawat, J.) Dated 16.09.2008 LSR
