SMT. AJAYWATI vs State of UP — 551/2026

Case Summary The District Court of Badaun rejected the second bail application of Smt. Ajayavati, accused in a dowry death case (FIR under IPC Sections 80(2), 85, and 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act). The court found that while the victim's witnesses had testified, the prosecution's case was still incomplete with further evidence pending, making it premature to grant bail based on incomplete witness testimony alone. The court determined the alleged offense was of serious nature (death caused by strangulation as per post-mortem report), thereby refusing to grant bail as the accused posed an obstruction risk to justice.
