Judgment Heard the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties. 2. This is an appeal preferred against the judgment of acquittal passed by Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Siwan on 26th August, 2003 in Complaint Case No. C-425 of 1996/Trial No. 923 of 2003 for the offence under Section 406 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 3. The appellant is unfortunate father of the daughter, who was married with respondent no. 2, namely, Bijay Kumar Rastogi @ Beauty, but within two years of marriage the daughter of the appellant suffered unnatural death and respondent no. 2 has been convicted for the offence under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code by a court at Gorakhpur (U.P.). But the matter is still subjudice before appropriate forum. 4. During the pendency of the case initially instituted for the offence under Section 304 B of the Indian Penal Code with allied sections at Gorakhpur, the present complaint was filed at Siwan, Bihar against refusal to return some presentations given during and after marriage. 5. Before the court below altogether four witnesses have been examined besides following Exhibits :- (i) Exhibit-1 – Complaint Case, (ii) Exhibit-2 to 2/6 – Receipts, (iii) Exhibit- 3 – Certified copy of Cr. Misc. No. 23527 of 1996. 6. No oral evidence was adduced on behalf of the defence, but Exhibit-A is Judgment of Sessions Trial No. 80 of 1997 and on consideration of the material the court below, apart from the court at Siwan having any jurisdiction to adjudicate the matter, finding prosecution unable to substantiate the charges acquitted the accused persons. 7. Learned counsel for the appellant tried his level best, but in face of statement of the complainant (CW-2) and purchase of articles at Gorakhpur (U.P.) before marriage could not meet the question of jurisdiction as decided by the court below. 8. Thus, there appears no reason to interfere with the finding of the court below. Hence, the appeal stands dismissed. Appeal dismissed.
