JUDGMENT : C.V. SIRPURKAR, J. 1. Heard on this first application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 filed on behalf of petitioner Parmlal in Crime No. 275/2017 registered by P.S. Lavkush Nagar, District-Chhatarpur under Sections 304-B and 498-A read with section 34 of the IPC and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. As per the prosecution case, deceased Bati Bai had married Thakurdas Pal on 19.06.2014. At the time of the marriage, no dowry was settled and whatever was given by way of dowry by the father of the deceased, was of his own free will and accord. However, after the marriage, petitioner Parmlal, Thakurdas (husband) and Rajni (sister-in-law Jethani) used to taunt the deceased that her father had not given anything in dowry. They demanded Rs. 1 lac and a motorcycle by way of dowry; however, since the father of the deceased was not in a position to give aforesaid dowry, the deceased was harassed and persecuted by aforesaid three persons. Unable to bear persistent harassment, she committed suicide by jumping in a well on 24.08.2017. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that it appears highly improbable that no dowry was demanded at the time of the marriage and subsequently, demand for dowry would be raised. There are no specific allegations against the present petitioners with regard either to dowry harassment or dowry demand. It has also been submitted that as a the matter of fact, the deceased was suffering from epilepsy and it was perhaps an accidental death. The petitioner has been in custody since 15.12.2017; therefore, it has been prayed that the petitioner be released on bail. 4. Learned Government Advocate for the respondent/State on the other hand has opposed the application. 5. However, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case in their entirety, particularly the facts, as pointed out by learned counsel for the petitioner, in the opinion of this Court, petitioner deserves to be released on bail. 6. Consequently, this first application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 filed on behalf of petitioner Parmlal, is allowed. 7. It is directed that the petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.
