This is clubbed with suicidal death with dowry harassment hence it would take time for granting bail.

However yo may apply for bail once again in the high court.

The other matters can be taken up during trial.

First of all put your best efforts to prove his innocence before the court while arguing for bail and somehow get him enlarged on bail.

The abetment to suicide is a grave offence hence care should be taken while arguing for bail.

The fact is that some people who commit suicide can be classified as psychotic or severely disturbed. And it is only through a gross distortion of the actual circumstances that one could claim all suicides are enacted in a spell of madness.

The victim of suicide may also be the victim of self-expectations that have not been fulfilled. The sense of disappointment and frustration may have much in common with that experienced by the person who seeks revenge through suicide.

Your advocate may quote more such recitals in the bail application argument.

1. You shall have to file bail petition before the High Court finding loopholes in the said charge sheet.

2. Examine the charge sheet carefully and scrutinise the suicide note if any or any evidence referred in the said charge sheet.

3. If any loophole/discrepancy is found in the said charge sheet/evidence your brother is likely to get bail based on benefit of doubt.

1. When there is no suicide note found to prove your brothers responsibility in the said incidence,he is likely to get bail from the higher court.

2. There has been recent judgment passed by the Supreme Court opining that cause of such emotional act can not be attributed on husband.

Hi, I do not call this case as dowry death. There were no FIR / dates were given in your question. You can challenge sessions court order. I need to see the charge sheet before i suggest any legal advice.

Thanks,
