Bhatt, Advocate for the applicant and the A.G.A. for the prosecution. Accused applicant Naveen Chandra Rikhari has applied for bail in case crime No. 3 of 2005 under Sections 304B, 498A, 323 and 201 I.P.C. and ¾ of Dowry Prohibition Act, P.S. Nayab Tehsildar, Ranikhet , District Almora. Counsel for the applicant has submitted that the allegations against the accused regarding demand of dowry are afterthought by the brother of the deceased. In fact the deceased was suffering some heart disease and she died due to heart attack. The Cardiologist has given certificate to the effect that she was suffering from streptococcal infection. On Visara examination no poison was found. Without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I think this is a fit case for bail. Let the accused applicant be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate concerned. Rajesh Tandon, J.
