Mr. Prashant Khanna, Advocate for the petitioners. 2. Mr. S.C. Dumka, A.G.A. with Ms. S.B. Dobhal, B.H. for the State. 3. By means of the present writ petition, the petitioners have put to challenge the F.I.R. No.0011 of 2025 dated 13.04.2025 under Sections 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, 80 and 85 of B.N.S. 2023 registered with Police Station Dharchula, District Pithoragarh. 4. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that the deceased committed suicide by hanging on 12.04.2025 in her matrimonial house at Haat, Dharchula, District Pithoragarh. 5. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that there was no demand of dowry by the petitioners rather husband of the deceased-i.e., petitioner no.1 has even gifted mobile phone to the deceased-wife and his mother-in-law. 6. He further submits that after marriage he has given a scooty to the deceased-wife for her convenience and in such situation there is no question of demand of dowry by the petitioners. 7. Per contra, learned State counsel submits that the deceased died of unnatural death by hanging and in F.I.R. there are clear allegations of demand of dowry at the hands of the petitioners; F.I.R. is a prompt one written on 13.04.2025; the deceased allegedly committed suicide within a period of less than three months of her marriage. 8. Having considered the rival submissions of learned counsel for the parties, this Court is not inclined to interfere in the matter as the F.I.R. discloses commission of serious offence of dowry death against the petitioners. 9. Accordingly writ petition stands dismissed. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 22.04.2025 SK 2
