This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending her arrest for offences under Sections 304(B)/34 IPC. 3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. The petitioner is the mother-in-law of the deceased. The allegation is that there was demand of dowry and torture, resulting in unnatural death of the deceased. 5. After hearing the parties and going through the postmortem report produced by learned A.P.P., I find that in the postmortem report, the Doctor did not find any evidence of antemortem mechanical injury over the body and there is no evidence of pressure over the nose, mouth or chest. As per the report, the cause of death is because of pregnancy and its complications. 6. Considering the postmortem report and the findings given therein, I am inclined to allow this application. 2025:JHHC:17513 2 7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed.
