IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38493 of 2008 PAPPU CHOUDHARY @ DEVENDRA CHOUDHARY S/o- Babu Lal Choudhary, R/o- Village Chakalhaladpur P.S.- Vaishali, District - Vaishali Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 12.12.2008 Heard the parties. Petitioner is an accused in a case registered for the offences under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is no allegation of demand and torture for non-fulfillment of dowry. However, the complainant herself is not desirous to live with this petitioner because she got job of a teacher and petitioner is unemployed. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that in view of the specific allegation of demand and torture, petitioner is not entitled to privilege of anticipatory bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail on behalf of the petitioner is rejected. Jagdish/- (Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J)
