The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of an application under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C. stating that the informant had got his sister married to the applicant's son Surendra Kumar on 25.11.2020; that all the accused persons used to harass her for demanding dowry; the informant's sister was having one and half months pregnancy and her husband- co-accused had kicked on her abdomen at about 8.00 p.m. on 24.04.2024.

In the statement of informant and his mother recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C, they stated that when the condition of victim deteriorated, she was taken to hospital but they did not state that the victim was taken to hospital by the informant and it appears that she had been taken to the hospital by the accused persons. 7.

Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the deceased died about after five years of marriage; that the applicant is father in law and no specific allegations have been levelled against him; that no mark of injury was found on the dead body and prima facie it appears that the deceased was taken to the hospital for treatment by the accused persons themselves and without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid crime. 9.
