law and mother in-law of the deceased,

are in jail for over a year in

connection with FIR NO.452 dated

14.07.2024 registered under Sections

498A, 304-B and 34 of the Indian Penal

Code, 1860 (IPC) read with Sections 3

and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

3. The charges have been framed and

material witnesses have been examined.

However, the completion of the trial

is likely to take some time.

respondent-State of Madhya Pradesh is

complete and despite opportunity by

serving notice upon the State Counsel,

no one has joined the proceedings.

5. In view of the above, we deem it

appropriate to enlarge the petitioners

on bail.
