(1.) HEARD learned Counsel for the applicant and learned Additional Government Advocate. This application has been filed on behalf of the husband Farman in case crime No. 564 of 2007, under sections 498-A/316 IPC and 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, police station Mansoori, District Ghaziabad.
(2.) THE allegations in the FIR, which was lodged in the form of an application under section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure were that the applicant Farman, his first wife Asia, Begam, Shaukeen, Momin, Sajda and Idris caught hold of Shahnaz and poured kerosene oil and set her on fire and within fifteen minutes a child was born and died and that is why the charge under section 316 IPG was also made.
(3.) I find little reason at this juncture to disbelieve this most natural statement of the victim and failed to understand as to why she would invent such a story when she was 80% burnt.
