The accusation is that due to the assault made by the petitioner and others the pregnancy of the informant got terminated. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that matrimonial case was filed by the petitioner in 2007 at Asansol where the informant appeared and contested. Moreover in the said matrimonial suit the informant has filed an application for maintenance also in 2009, hence in that background the accusation levelled for the occurrence of 2010 appears to be absurd. Considering the fact that matrimonial case was filed by the petitioner three years prior to lodging of the present case, let the petitioner namely Rajendra Ram, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of 12 weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sheikhpura in connection with Barbigha P.S.
