IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.513 of 2010 BIKRAM HEMBRAM SON OF SITA RAM HEMBRAM,R/O VILLAGE- BAGHANIA, P.S.- MURLIGANJ, DISTRICT- MADHEPURA Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 2 04/02/2010 Heard Mr. Mukesh Sharma learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered under Sections 498 A, 379/34, 504 and 447 of the Indian Penal Code. The case is of the year 1999 and this is the year 2010. The petitioner is still absconding. Submission is that during investigation the victim has not supported the allegation of torture so case under Section 498A IPC is not made out. It appears that prayer for bail of co-accused Manoj Hembram was refused by this Court vide order dated 22.12.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 38919 of 2009 because he has absconded for ten years. The petitioner is the husband of the victim and his case is more serious than the case of his brother whose prayer for anticipatory bail has already been refused by this Court. Considering the above facts, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, this application is rejected. However, any regular bail application preferred 2 by this petitioner before the court below shall be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
