Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the FIR is delayed by about six hours and there is no explanation of the said delay caused. It was a love marriage, as such, there was no occasion for the applicant to demand dowry from the deceased person. It is a clear cut case of false implication. The deceased has committed suicide out of pressure of the two families as it was not an arrange marriage and according to the wishes of the family of both the parties. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant has further stated that the cause of death was asphyxia as a result of ante-mortem hanging. There is no criminal history of the applicant.
