1. Heard Sri Anuj Kumar Gupta, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Rakesh Kumar Mishra, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
2. Instant bail application has been filed with a prayer to release the applicant on bail during the trial in Case Crime No. 347 of 2026, under Sections 80(2), 85 BNS, and 3/4 D.P. Act, Police Station- Bahjoi, District- Sambhal.
3. Contention of learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant is husband of the deceased and he has been falsely implicated though there is no material to show that soon before her death, she was subjected to cruelty for non-fulfillment of demand of dowry. It is further submitted that the deceased herself committed suicide by hanging after a petty dispute over household issues. Charge sheet has been filed by the police, therefore, there is no requirement for custodial interrogation. The applicant has no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 19.08.2026. In case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate in the trial proceedings.
4. On the other hand, learned A.G.A. for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the deceased died within 7 years of her marriage under unnatural circumstances. He further submitted that statements of witnesses recorded during investigation show that the applicant had been continuously harassing the deceased for non-fulfillment of demand of dowry which resulted into suicide by the deceased, therefore, he is not entitled to be released on bail. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Anuj Kumar Gupta Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Ravi .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s)
5. Considering the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the fact that the applicant is husband of the deceased, who committed suicide by hanging within 7 years of her marriage and evidence collected during investigation shows that she was subjected to cruelty with regard to demand of dowry prior to her death, therefore, in view of presumption of dowry death under Section 118 of Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the applicant.
6. Accordingly, the present bail application is rejected. October 8, 2026 A.Kr. BAIL No. 33477 of 2026 2 (Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal,J.) Digitally signed by :- AJAY KUMAR High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
