The Sessions Judge rejected the anticipatory bail petition filed by Panwa Kunwar and Manoj Yadav, accused of dowry-related death of a woman who died within seven years of marriage at her matrimonial home. The court found that independent witness statements supported allegations of beating and strangling, and the death occurred within seven years of marriage with dowry demands alleged, making them ineligible for anticipatory bail under dowry death provisions.
