It is alleged that on 25.11.1998, the accused-applicant father-in-law, his wife and the husband of the deceased set the deceased on fire on account of dowry demand. The marriage of the deceased Smt.

The applicant�s Anr. son and other persons of the village on 26.11.1998 as come in the F.I.R itself, duly informed the parents of the deceased. Only bum injuries have been found on the deceased.
