reason for occurrence is alleged due to non-fulfillment of

demand of motor-cycle in dowry.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted

that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated.

The deceased died due to ailments and the father of the

petitioner himself apprised the family members of the deceased

when she was being shifted to the hospital. The learned counsel

has submitted further that the doctor who conducted the autopsy,

was not definite about the cause of death, and he opined the

cause of death as suspected case of poisoning. But the FSL

report shows that the viscera did not contain any kind of

poisonous substance, which clearly establishes that the victim

died due to ailments. The learned counsel has also submitted

that, according to the FIR, the accused persons, were brutally

assaulting the deceased, but no external injury was found on her

person. Other co-accused persons have been granted

anticipatory bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court in

Cr.Misc.No. 35772 of 2025 under order dated 18.06.2025.

5. The father of the petitioner himself apprised the

informant that they were carrying his daughter to the hospital as

she was suffering from ailments. There is no external injury on

the person of the deceased, according to the post mortem report.
