The charge for the offence under Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act has failed and the appellant has been acquitted of the said charge.
(2.) THE prosecution case as disclosed in the fardbeyan of Lakshmi Narain Tiwary, who is the father of the deceased, is that his daughter Veena Devi was married to the accused Anil Tiwary in the year 1983. His daughter was blessed with a daughter about four months prior to the incident. On 18.02.1987, he had gone to the house of his daughter at village Kamaldih where in the night his daughter informed him that she was harassed for demand of dowry. He persuaded his daughter to stay there and came back on 19.02.1987. He used to plead with his son in law with folded hands that he is not capable of giving any dowry. On 21.02.1987, he heard a rumour that his daughter has been grievously injured in the previous night by her husband Anil Tiwary. He, on receiving such information proceeded to Kamaldih with his cousin, Surendra Nath Tiwary. They enquired about the incident from the villagers of the Kamaldih, who informed that at about 11.30 p.m. in the previous night, Anil Tiwary raised a hulla of "Chor Chor", however, when the villagers went to his house they did not find any sign of theft there. The villagers informed him that Anil Tiwary told them that her wife was assaulted by the thieves. He has further stated that the villagers informed him that they called the doctor and carried his daughter to Narainpur hospital. He, therefore, suspected that his son in law has killed his daughter for dowry.
