IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14099 of 2010 Dhedhi Sah, son of Manulal Sah, resident of Village- Halwai Tola, P.S. Bairiya, District-West Champaran at Bettiah…………………………………….Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar ……………………….Opposite Party. For the petitioner :- Mr. Amrendra Kumar No.1. For the State :- Mr. Ram Priya Sharan Singh,A.P.P. ----------- 2. 19. 05. 2010. Heard the parties. In a criminal prosecution for offence under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioner happens to be husband of the complainant. In the complaint petition vide Annexure-1, there is allegation of demand of dowry and torture against the petitioner. It appears to be second complaint petition filed by the complainant against the accused persons including the petitioner, as the first complaint petition has ended in a compromise. In that view of the matter, prayer for anticipatory bail made on behalf of the petitioner is rejected. The petitioner must surrender in the court below in connection with Complaint Case No. 2285C/06, within a period of four weeks from today and seek regular bail, if so advised, which shall be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order. However, for the purpose of grant of regular bail, if the petitioner enters into a compromise either for restoration of matrimonial relationship with the complainant or for one time settlement of entire dispute, then prayer may be considered favourably in terms of compromise arrived at between the parties. m.p.
