IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15390 of 2008 VIJAY PANDIT & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2 5.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as also the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.C-1124 of 2007 under Section-498A and 406 I.P.C. and ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act and have prayed for anticipatory bail. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioners that for the same set of allegation , other co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail by the Sessions Court but the prayer for anticipatory bail of these petitioners, being the husband and mother-in-law has been rejected , although the allegations made in the complaint petition are general and omnibus in nature .It has also been submitted that the instant complaint is by way of a counter blast to the divorce case filed by petitioner no.1. Filing of the divorce case prior to the complaint may be a good ground for consideration in the matters of regular bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, this application for anticipatory bail is hereby rejected.
