IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44166 of 2008 RABINDRA KUMAR SHARMA, son of Prayag Lal Sharma, resident of village Bose Park Mahatma Gandhi Path, P.S. Adampur, District Bhagalpur Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 18.04.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Sections 302, 120B, 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/ 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. He is named in the First Information Report along with his father and mother. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he being the brother of the husband of the deceased should be admitted to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest, as it is not expected that the brother of the husband of the deceased will demand dowry. Aforesaid argument was also available to the parents of the husband of the deceased, but they were admitted to the privilege of regular bail only by this Court under orders dated 4.9.2008, Annexure-2 to this application. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to consider the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail in the event of arrest. This application is, accordingly, rejected 2 with direction to the petitioner to surrender in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhagalpur in connection with Kotwali (Adampur) P.S. Case No. 264 of 2008 within four weeks from today and apply for grant of regular bail, which should be considered in accordance with law. Arjun/ ( V.N. Sinha, J.)
