Initially, the informant filed Complaint Case which was
converted into Banka P.S. Case No. 206 of 2007 registered
under Sections-304(B), 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Admittedly, the petitioner is father-in-law of the informant’s

of the petitioner with his wife i.e. daughter-in-law of the
petitioner was not cordial and the victim (daughter of the
informant) had filed a case under section-498A of the Indian
Penal Code in which a settlement took place and the victim left
alongwith her husband for her matrimonial home but
submission on behalf of the petitioner is that while the

well as brother-in-law and after that, her marriage was
solemnized with another person in U.P. and the exact
whereabouts of the alleged victim is not known to the petitioner.

husband of the victim had already filed an informatory petition
before the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Banka. In support
