| Court rejects bail of husband-wife in dowry death case | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 20: Additional Sessions Judge Jammu Kishore Kumar rejected the bail applications of Yog Raj and his wife Swarana Devi who are involved in dowry death case.
According to the police case that the daughter-in-law of the applicants namely Jaya Bharati on 10.08.2020 committed suicide by getting herself hanged at her matrimonial home at Channi Himmat, Jammu. The matter with respect to death of Jaya Bharati was reported to the Police Station, Channi Himmat, Jammu. Additional Sessions Judge Jammu Kishore Kumar after hearing APP Vikrant Sharma for the UT whereas Adv Mohsin Bhat for the applicants observed that the degeneration of society due to the pernicious system of dowry and the unconscionable demands made by greedy and unscrupulous husbands and their parents and relatives resulting in an alarming number of suicidal and dowry deaths by women.
Court further said that gravity of the offence, punishment prescribed for the alleged offence, level of accusation against the accused, stage of the case, tendency to flee and potential to temper with the evidence by the accused etc are some of the important factors to be considered by the Court while deciding the bail application. The gravity of the offence in the instant case, alleged to be committed by the accused can very well be gauged from the facts referred in the foregoing paras, as put in the charge sheet. All the accused persons are prime facie responsible for the death of the victim, a newly married girl, who was in the custody of the accused persons. The role of the parents become more important in the matrimonial home, to defuse the controversies if at all accrued between a couple. But the irony is this that parents always took the side of their son irrespective of the fault of their son than that of the bride. With these observations Court rejected the bail applications. —JNF |
