Report be lodged and action be taken. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that although the applicant is the husband of the deceased but he has been falsely implicated in the present case.

It is further submitted that there was never any demand of dowry and the Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Jitendra Pal Singh, Pradeep Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Rahul Saxena Ramasre .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) allegations as levelled against the applicant and other co-accused persons are totally false and incorrect. It is submitted that the deceased was a sensitive lady and since she was refused by the applicant to go to her maternal house and thus she committed suicide. While placing para 18 and 19 of the affidavit it is submitted that the father of the applicant executed a gift deed in favour of son of the deceased namely Rajbir and made maternal grandmother Mrs. Javitri wife of the first informant as guardian.

It is submitted that the applicant has no criminal history as stated in para 27 of the affidavit and is in jail since 20.03.2024. 6. Per contra, learned counsel for the first informant and learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the applicant is the husband of the deceased. The deceased died within seven years of marriage in her matrimonial house. The death is unnatural. It is submitted that there is no reason for false implication of the applicant and as such the prayer for bail of the applicant be rejected. 7. After having heard learned counsels for the parties and perusing the records, it is evident that the applicant is the husband of the deceased. He is named in the FIR and there are allegations of demand of dowry against him. The deceased died within seven years of marriage in her matrimonial house. The death is unnatural. Charge sheet in the matter has been submitted against the applicant. The applicant has failed to discharge the burden regarding the death of his wife in his house. I do not find it a fit case for bail. 8. Considering the totality of the case in particular, nature of evidence available on record, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 9. The bail application is, accordingly, rejected. 10. Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of. October 17, 2025 M. ARIF BAIL No. 27200 of 2024 2 (Samit Gopal,J.)
