1. List has been revised. 2. Compliance affidavit filed by learned A.G.A. is taken on record. 3. Heard Sri N.I. Jafri, learned Senior Counsel assisted by Sri Asif Jafri, learned counsel for applicant, Sri Shahrukh, learned counsel for the informant, Sri Arun Kumar Mishra, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 4. The present bail application has been filed by the applicant in Case Crime No.129 of 2024, under Sections 498-A, 304-B I.P.C. and Section 3/4 D.P. Act, Police Station Nauchandi, District Meerut with the prayer to enlarge him on bail. 5. As per prosecution story, the marriage of the applicant was solemnized with the deceased person as per Muslim Rites on
14.08.2023. The applicant and other family members are stated to have subjected the deceased to cruelty for demand of Rs.5 lakhs as dowry, thereby leading her to death on 15.04.2024. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the applicant has nothing to do with the said offence. The FIR is delayed and there is no explanation of the said delay caused. The applicant rushed the deceased to hospital and took every step to save her life, but could not do so. The deceased was found pregnant and out of depression has committed suicide. 7. Learned Senior Counsel for the applicant has further stated that there is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is in jail
since 22.05.2024 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 8. Per contra, learned counsel for the informant and learned A.G.A. have vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that the cause of death could not be ascertained, as such, viscera was preserved and hydrochloric acid was found in it, which is highly poisonous material. The uterus of the deceased was found gravid, as such, she was found pregnant. 9.
Learned counsel for the informant and learned A.G.A. has further stated that the deceased has expired within the precincts of the house of the applicant, as such, he is not entitled for bail. 10. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and taking into
consideration the fact that the deceased has expired within the precincts of the house of the applicant and in viscera hydrochloric acid was found coupled with the fact that the FIR is prompt, I do not find it a fit case for grant of bail to the applicant.
11. The bail application is found devoid of merits and is, accordingly, rejected.
12. It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail application and the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case during trial.
