RANJIT SAH, SON OF BUDHU SAH 5. FUDKI DEVI, DAUGHTER OF BUDHU SAH ALL RESIDENT OF VILLAGE BALIA UMARTOLA, POLICE STATION BALIA, DISTRICT BEGUSARAI, AT APRESENT POLICE STATION SAHEBPURKAMAL, DISTRICT BEGUSARAI VERSUS STATE OF BIHAR ******** 2 19.02.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State. Petitioners are apprehending their arrest in a case under Sections 4298A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The allegation in the complaint petition is that within one year of the marriage, the complainant was tortured by her father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband and other family members. Considering the allegations made in the complaint petition, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners 1 and 2 who are said to have deprived the complainant of food and it appears from the order of the Court below that the husband has categorically stated that he is not prepared to live with the complainant. Therefore, the anticipatory bail petition on behalf of the above named petitioners 1 and 2 is 2 rejected. However, as far as the above named petitioners 3, 4 and 5 are concerned who are the sister- in-law (gotni) and the brother of the husband and alleged second wife directed to be released on anticipatory bail in the event of arrest/surrender before the Court below within a period of six weeks from today in Complaint Case No. 763C of 2007 on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Khagaria.
