The Supreme Court has granted interim six-week bail to a man accused of dowry demands and causing his wife's death to allow him to take care of his three-year-old sick daughter. The court noted the man's father-in-law also wanted the accused out for the sake of the child.


"Considering the fact that the three-year-old daughter of the petitioner is suffering from Acute Bacillary Dysentery–C, anaemia and she needs optimum care and supervision, we deem it fit at this stage to release the petitioner on ...interim bail for a period of six weeks," said a bench of justices Indira Banerjee and MR Shah on Tuesday.

The man's wife was in August last year found hanging in their house in Agra. Her family claimed she was murdered for dowry. The man's family maintained the woman died by suicide after two miscarriages. The couple had adopted the girl.

The father-in-law filed a dowry death and harassment case against the man. The Agra police concluded the woman died by suicide after being allegedly tortured for dowry.
