Applicant who is husband of the deceased is being prosecuted for the offence punishable under Sections, 304B, 306, 498A r/w Section 34 of Indian Penal Code. Other co-accused in this matter are released on bail. The applicant is the husband of the deceased and death of the deceased has occurred within a period of 2 months and 10 days of the marriage by consuming poison. It is the case of the applicant that there is other reason for committing suicide, however, that reason is not mentioned in the complaint. Merely because the applicant is in jail for one year, it is not sufficient to release the applicant on bail for the offence punishable under Sections, 304B, 306, 498A -2- r/w Section 34 of Indian Penal Code, the application is rejected.
