The applicant seeks enlargement on bail in FIR No.284 of 2024, under Section 80(2) of BNS, Police Station Katra Bazar, District Gonda. 3. In terms of the FIR, it was alleged that the daughter of the informant was married to the applicant in the year 2023. Subsequently, she was harassed for dowry. It was also alleged that the victim was admitted in the hospital. Neither the postmortem report nor the inquest was done in respect of the deceased. The document on record demonstrates that the victim was admitted in a hospital for some treatment and died at home on 15.04.2025. 4. Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the bail prayer. 5. Considering the fact that there is no material to suggest that the victim died on account of unnatural reasons, the presumption under Section 80(2) of BNS is not made out and the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and is languishing in jail since 24.07.2024, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 6.
