Petitioner no.1 is the father-in-law and petitioner no.2 is the husband of the deceased. The informant, father of the deceased alleged that his daughter was married three years ago to petitioner No.2 Pramod Mehta and that after the marriage, the husband and other in-laws were torturing and harassing her due to non-fulfilment of demand of cash money, one bicycle and one buffalo and as a result of non-fulfilment of demand they committed deceased’s dowry death. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner Jay Prakash Mehta, father-in-law of the deceased is an old and aged person and that he was attributed with the general and omnibus allegations. Mr. S.R.Haque, learned A.P.P. refers to P.M. Examination Report of the deceased and points out that fracture of 2nd and 3rd rib on the right side of chest cavity with right lung lacerated and thorasic cavity containing blood and blood clots were found and the shock and hemorrhage due to above injuries was found to be the cause of death. Learned A.P.P. refers to Para 51 of the case diary containing supervision notes of the Deputy Superintendent of Police and points out 2 that the witnesses have stated before the Deputy Superintendent of Police that on the day of occurrence, the deceased’s husband i.e. petitioner no.2 Pramod Mehta had assaulted her. Thus hearing and considering as above, I do not feel inclined to allow bail to the petitioner no.2 Pramod Mehta who is the husband of the deceased. Hence, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, in the fact s and circumstances of the case, petitioner no.1 Jay Prakash Mehta is admitted to bail on his furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Addl.
