He further submits that there is no specific demand of dowry and the deceased died due to poisoning and there is no evidence of any injury on the body of the deceased.
7. Apart from this, he submits that the applicant married with the deceased in the year 2015 and therefore there was no any question for demand of dowry and the chargesheet has already been filed.
8. On the other side, learned A.G.A. Mr. Siddhartha Bisht submits that as per the post- mortem report the death was caused due to strangulation.
9. Apart from this, he also gives reference of inquest report and in the inquest report also the deceased was died due to strangulation.
10.
Learned counsel for the informant Mr. Rajendra Singh Azad also submits that in

11. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and further taking into consideration that there is a strangulation mark in the neck of the deceased, this court is not inclined to grant bail to the applicant. Hence, the bail application is rejected.
