IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR.MISC. NO.45360 OF 2009 MD.MUMTAZ AHMAD, SON OF MD. SALAUDDIN, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE BARA, POLICE STATION CHANDAUTI, DISTRICT GAYA VERSUS THE STATE OF BIHAR ********** 2 22/02/2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case under Sections 341, 323, 504 and 498A of the Indian Penal Code. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is ready to keep his wife with dignity. However, it appears that his wife who appeared before the Court below had not consented to live with him because of the demand of dowry and torture. Be that as it may, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the above named petitioner. This application is dismissed. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the Court below and make a prayer for grant of regular bail, the Court below will dispose of the application on its own merits without being prejudiced by this order of rejection. Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
