Further, the complainant alleged that his daughter got married to the brother-in-law of the applicant. Soon after which, the accused family members including the applicant started to harass and physically torture the deceased on the pretext of dowry demands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Specific allegations against the accused persons, wherein they were being held responsible for the death of the complainant\u2019s daughter were also raised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On being aggrieved of being beaten by the in-laws and thrown out of the matrimonial house, the complainant\u2019s daughter committed suicide by hanging on the ceiling fan with a piece of cloth.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Analysis, Law and Decision<\/span><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The applicant was the relative of the deceased, being the brother-in-law of the husband of the deceased, was living separately from the matrimonial home of the deceased.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bench noted that, there was a general allegation against the applicant in the FIR and no specific allegations were made against him regarding the demand of dowry.
