It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that there is an inordinate delay of more than 8 months in instituting the complaint; which on being referred to police under Section 156(3) of Cr.P.C.; the FIR of this case has been registered. It is next submitted that the only allegation against the petitioner is that he did not provide money for treatment of the deceased. It is next submitted that the deceased died after 11 years after her marriage, while she was in the house of her father during the course of her treatment for a considerable period of time.
