Bibi Sanjida @ Kari, w/o Tabraj R/O Vill- Jhouwari, P.S And Distt- Araria, at present d/o Ali Hasan, r/o Jhouwari, P.S And Distt- Araria .... Opposite Parties ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 4 26-07-2012 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. This is a petition for grant of anticipatory bail for offence under [STATUTE] . There is allegation of demand and subjecting cruelty. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has divorced the victim and not ready to keep her. However, from Annexure 2, there is a fatwa that if the victim will fight with the mother-in-law, it will be deemed to be divorce. Annexure 2, itself, is deemed to be a questionable paper. Hence, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender, within four weeks from the date of receipt of this order, is directed to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bound of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Complaint Case No. 1476 of 2010 to the satisfaction of the Subdivisional Judicial Magistrate, Araria, subject to the condition that either the petitioner keep the victim with due dignity or shall pay worth Rs.1,000/- per month as maintenance till the higher amount decided by the competent Court.
