IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13828 of 2009 1. JALIL 2. SAIMA 3. MAHJABI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03 10.09.2009 Heard both sides. Three petitioners, who are in-laws of the husband of the complainant, have approached this court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Sections 498A of the Penal Code and Section ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is contended that the cause of action, if any, had arisen in 2006 itself when the husband of the complainant married a second lady (petitioner no.2). The complaint has been lodged 02 years thereafter on 27.05.2008. It is next contended that the allegations against the petitioners are general and omnibus in nature. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant opposed the prayer for bail. Having regard to the fact that the petitioners are in- law (not the husband), this court is inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Let the petitioners, above named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of 04 weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- ( ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like 2 amount each to the satisfaction of the CJM, Katihar in connection with Complaint case no. 1406 of 2008, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C.
