IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18223 of 2009 PARESH NATH MANDAL Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 8.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in complaint case No. 1128©/2008 under section 498A/406 of the Indian Penal Code and ¾ Dowry Prohibition Act. Cruelty is alleged for demand of dowry even termination of pregnancy is alleged due to assault caused by in-laws including the petitioner but strange enough no case was lodged at that time while she was admitted to hospital. Reasons are there that money has been sent to thewife while she was at her father’s place. This belies the allegation of demand. Wife is not ready to reside with husband with any condition, so I find it not a fit case in which petitioner’s arrest can be justified. In the facts and circumstances of the case, let the above named petitioner in the vent of his arrest or surrender in the court below within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order be released on bail on his furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of S.D.J.M, Patna in the above noted case, subject to the conditions laid down under section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
