IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8650 of 2008 RAVI NANDAN SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 14.5.08 Heard both sides. The petitioner, who is husband and facing prosecution for the offence punishable under Sections 304B, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, has approached this court for anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegations were levelled under misconception. In this connection, he draws attention of this court to the affidavit /application filed by the mother and father of the deceased. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner is named in the FIR and the offence is punishable under Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner and accordingly his prayer for the same is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders and makes application for regular bail in the court below, it will consider and dispose of the same on its merit without being prejudiced by this order of rejection.
