shiva vs State Of U.P — 193/2026

Summary: The District and Sessions Court of Mainpuri granted bail to Shiva in a case involving the death of his wife Poonam, who was found hanging on January 9, 2026. Although the prosecution alleged the death was caused by dowry harassment and demands of one lakh rupees, the court found insufficient evidence to establish the accused's guilt at the bail stage, noting inconsistencies in the FIR and lack of independent witnesses. Shiva was released on bail with a personal bond of ₹50,000 and two sureties. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
