                                       ORAL ORDER

3   24-02-2026                        Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                      2. In the present case, the petitioner seeks bail in

                   connection with Siwan Muffasil P.S. Case No. 573 of 2025

                   dated 30.07.2025, registered for the offences punishable under

                   Section 80(2) read with Section 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and

                   Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

                                      3. As per the prosecution case, petitioner was

                   married to the daughter of the informant on 10.05.2025. The

                   allegation against the petitioner and other co-accused persons is

                   that they used to torture the daughter of informant on account of

                   demand of a motorcycle as dowry. Allegedly, on 29.07.2025,

                   informant received intimation on his mobile phone regarding

                   serious condition of his daughter and when he went to her

                   matrimonial home, he found her dead.

                          4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

          petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and he has falsely

          been implicated in the present case. Informant was immediately

          intimated about the serious condition of his daughter and the

          mobile number given in the FIR belongs to the sister of the

          informant. It was the petitioner who informed the police, and it

          has been wrongly mentioned that informant gave any

          information to the police by dialling 112. From the FIR, it is

          also apparent that no effort was made to dispose of the dead

          body. The post-mortem report falsifies the allegation against the

          petitioner and other co-accused persons as only a ligature mark

          was found on the body of the deceased and no external injury

          was found. Learned counsel further submits that the cause of

          death was said to be asphyxia caused by hanging. It appears that

          the deceased committed suicide for reasons known to her. When

          the mobile phone of the deceased was taken by the investigating

          officer, no CDR was obtained and an application was filed

          before the learned trial Court in this regard. Learned counsel

          next submits that petitioner is having clean antecedent and

          chargesheet has been submitted. Learned counsel lastly submits

          that petitioner is in custody since 31.07.2025.

                          5. Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State

                                            3/4




          opposes the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner and

          submits that daughter of the informant died in her matrimonial

          home within a few months of marriage.

                          6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and

          submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the

          nature of material against the petitioner and also considering the

          post-mortem report and further considering clean antecedent of

          the petitioner, his period of custody and submission of

          chargesheet, the petitioner, above-named, is directed to be

          released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-

          (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like

          amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub-Divisional

          Judicial Magistrate, Siwan / concerned Court, in connection

          with Siwan Muffasil P.S. Case No. 573 of 2025, subject to the

          condition laid down under Section 480(3) of the B.N.S.S. and

          other following conditions:

                          (i) One of the bailors will be a close relative of the

          petitioner.

                          (ii) The petitioner will remain present on each and

          every date fixed by the court below, if so required by the learned

          trial Court.

                          (iii) In case of absence on three consecutive dates

                    or in violation of the terms of the bail, the bail bond of the

                    petitioner will be liable to be cancelled by the Court concerned.
