State of Haryana .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.Navneet Singh,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Petitioner-husband has approached this Court under Section 439 Cr.PC for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.57 dated 16.3.2010 under Sections 304-B/34 IPC, PS Pataudi. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the FIR there are no allegations of cruelty or harassment which would attract the offence under Section 304-B IPC. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am not inclined to accept the said plea. It is not disputed that the marriage between thepetitioner and deceased Birmati had been solemnised around 2 years prior to the date of occurrence. In the FIR lodged by the uncle of the deceased there are allegations that the petitioner-husband alongwith his mother and father used to ask Birmati to bring more dowry and used to beat her. It is also not disputed that Birmati had poured kerosene oil and died of burn injuries in her matrimonial home. Dismissed. 29.11.2010 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
