3 11.8.2011 Heard learned counsel for the

petitioners and the informant.

Torture for demand of dowry soon before

the death within seven years of marriage in

matrimonial home is the allegation followed by

unnatural death. Submission is that petitioners

are sister-in-law (Gotni) and brother-in-laws of

the deceased. For the most of the period spent

in Sasural She (deceased) remained with her

husband at his working place, so petitioners had

no concern with her affair or relation with

husband including demand for him. Moreover

petitioner no.1 is Gotni having status of the

deceased in family. Further submission is that

final form is submitted in the case exonerating

petitioners from the liability.

Thus, having regard to the facts and

circumstances of the case as well as submission

of the parties, in the event of arrest or
2

surrender within one month from the date of

communication of this order, the above named

petitioners shall be released on bail on

furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-(ten

thousand) each with two sureties of the like

amount each to the satisfaction of Chief

Judicial Magistrate, Nawada in Rajauli P.S. Case

No. 141 of 2008, subject to the condition as

laid down under section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
