IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2566 of 2009 GOPAL PAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2 28.1.2009 The petitioner was earlier granted provisional bail in Complaint Case No.427/07 under section 498A of the I.P.C. vide order dated 17 .8.2007 passed in Cr.Misc. No.35609 of 2007 on certain conditions. One of the conditions was that if the victim girl appears and express her desire to stay with him the provisional bail will stand confirmed. The learned counsel submits that the petitioner was always willing to keep the girl with him with dignity and due care. But it is the girl side which was not ready to accept the proposal. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that petitioner should surrender in the court below within five weeks from today and pray for regular bail. With the aforesaid observations this application is rejcted. However, prayer for bail will be considered on its own merit preferably on the same day without being prejudiced by this rejection order.
