HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 1178 of 2025 Court No. - 12 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. 1. Heard Shri Santosh Kumar Yadav, learned counsel for the applicant and Shri Rajeev Kumar Verma, learned AGA for the State as well as Shri Arvind Pratap Singh, learned Advocate, who has filed vakalatnama on behalf of the complainant which is taken on record. 2. A supplementary affidavit filed by learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record. 3. The present anticipatory bail application has been filed seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime No.77/2025, under Sections 80, 85 of B.N.S, and 3/4 of D.P. Act, Police Station- Kotwali Utraula, District Balrampur. 4. Perused the record. 5. On perusal of the record, it appears that the deceased died within three years and three months of her marriage as a result of cruelty inflicted upon her due to demand of dowry. She committed suicide by hanging herself in her matrimonial home. The postmortem report reveals eight antemortem injuries on her body, and the cause of death has been recorded as asphyxia resulting from antemortem hanging. The applicant is admittedly residing in the same house where the deceased died, and hence, it cannot be said that the case is one of false implication. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Santosh Kumar Yadav, Dinesh Pratap Verma Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Arvind Pratap Singh Aniket Verma @ Ankit Verma .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home And Another .....Opposite Party(s) 6. In view of the gravity of the injuries found on the body of the deceased, this Court is not inclined to exercise its inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 BNSS. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application stands dismissed. September 4, 2025 R.C. NABAIL No. 1178 of 2025 2 (Karunesh Singh Pawar,J.)
