IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1163 of 2009 SHATRUDHAN SAH, son of Damodar Sah, resident of Mohalla- Nayagaon, Munger, Police Station- East Colony, Jamalpur, District- Munger ----- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----- Opposite Party ----------- 4 24.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing on behalf of the opposite party. Both the parties have a problem as it appears that the husband and wife are not ready to settle the matter between them. A compromise application was filed in the year 2007 and on the basis of the compromise petition both husband and wife left the Court to live together. At that stage the father of the boy also agreed to look after his daughter-in-law. Again they are back in Court because of the same problems. The father-in-law and the father of the petitioner along with their respective Counsels are personally present in Chambers. Attempts were made by the counsel and the Court to settle the matter between them as well as between the young 2 couple but it appears that there is no chance and hope for compromise. The allegation is of torture for demand of dowry. Considering these aspects, petitioner’s anticipatory bail application is rejected. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
