Petitioner seeks bail in Marhowrah P.S. Case No. 130/2018 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 302/304(B)/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The informant has alleged that his grand daughter, Dip Mala Kumari was killed by her husband, i.e. the petitioner and his family members for non-fulfillment of demand of dowry, due to which she died and she was cremated without informing her parents.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also in view of the fact that there is direct allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.
