Petitioner is an accused in Pupari P.S.Case No.200 of 2008 for the offences under sections 498A, 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that according to the prosecution, marriage of the petitioner was solemnized in the year 2001 and the occurrence took place in November, 2008 after seven years of the marriage. As such, the story of demand of dowry after lapse of long period is not acceptable. It is also submitted that no case under section 304B of the Indian Penal code is made out. He further submits that the petitioner had informed the prosecution side as well as the police about the occurrence. The Police, after investigation, submitted charge sheet under Section 306 and 498A of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted that his brother had settled at Delhi and the deceased wanted to live there. The petitioner, in fact, had gone to Delhi for settling himself also, but still he has been struggling to have a proper living there. The 2 deceased, in frustration, committed suicide. It appears that the petitioner had informed the parents of the deceased soon after the incident. The petitioner is in custody for the last six months. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present. Application stands dismissed. However, petitioner, may renew his prayer for bail after three months. ahk (S.P.Singh,J)
