Petitioner is an accused in a case under Section 304 (B) of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel submits that in fact the deceased Sagufta Pravin died in course of cooking. He further submits that information was given to the victim’s parents who came to the petitioner’s house. Learned counsel further submits that innocence of the petitioner can be inferred from the fact that he did not move away from the alleged place of occurrence. Counsel for the State submits that another sister-in-law has supported the prosecution case and post-mortem report shows the death due to burn injury. In the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. His prayer for bail is rejected.
