The petitioner seeks bail in Pratapganj P.S.Case No. 08 of 2007 (Sessions Trial No. 48 of 2008) which has been registered for offences under Sections 304(B) and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased. The prayer for bail of mother-in-law has been refused by a Bench of this court on 24.9.2008 Vide Cr.Misc.No.28949 of 2008. Allegation is that the deceased was being subjected to torture in connection with dowry related demands by her in-laws. Later on she was killed within seven years of her marriage. Submission is that the witnesses who have been examined in trial till now have not supported the prosecution case. The facts remain that the mother-in-law of the deceased has been refused bail. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased. Considering these, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
