…...... 02/ 09.03.2026: This bail application has been filed under Sections 483 & 484 of BNSS, 2023 wherein, prayer has been made for grant of bail as he is in custody for allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 80/3(5) of BNS.
2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner learned counsel for the State and have also gone through the impugned order.
3. Learned AddI. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
4. Petitioner is the husband. There was demand of dowry and there is also evidence of torture and assault. The death is within two years, which is unnatural, due to hanging.
5. Considering the fact, at this stage, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Chandrapura P.S. Case No.109 of 2024, (S.T. No.345 of 2025) pending in the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-II FTC Bermo at Tenughat, stands rejected.
