IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17086 of 2009 SANTOSH KUMAR GUPTA @ SANTOSH SAH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 19.5.2009 Heard. It is a long draft complaint speaking of earlier litigation compromise between the parties and the lady joining the petitioner after the petitioner having under taken to full respect and dignity. A child also appears born from the wed- lock. The lady alleged that she was taken to Jalandhar(Punjab) where she found that the petitioner had developed an illicit relationship with a lady and on objecting to that relationship she was tortured and illtreated and lastly was asked to bring Rs.2,0000/- from her father after selling of the properties. There was a Panchayati as well for resolution of the dispute between the parties but in spite of giving another undertaking the petitioner was not behaving properly. It appears from one of the annexed orders passed by the Family Court, Madhepura that the degree of torture was heaped by the petitioner upon the complainant to the extent that the child from her lap was snatched - 2 - and taken away by the petitioner who could be made back to the mother only at the intervention of the Family Court. The parties are litigating for the custody of it. On having considered the allegations and after having heard the parties, I find that no merit in the present petition. The same is dismissed. The petitioner should surrender in the court below and pray for regular. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
