Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 27-04-2012 Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under [STATUTE] . During investigation the accusation was found only under Section 498A, but differing with the same learned Chief Judicial Magistrate took cognizance under [STATUTE] . also. It appears from the impugned order that petitioner was on police bail during investigation. I see no reason for learned Court below not to give the privilege of regular bail to the petitioner, keeping in view of the ratio laid down in the case of Mahendra Prasad Singh versus The State of Bihar reported in 2004(3) PLJR 491, provided that petitioners has not misused the privilege of bail.
