Opposite Parties ====================================================== 2 24-10-2011 Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the informant and learned Additional Counsel for the State. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No. 404(C) of 2009 for the offences punishable under Section 498A of the I.P.C. and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The Court is not convinced specially under the circumstances that the petitioner has gone and entered into matrimony a second time over while first marriage subsists. He cannot be given the benefit of being enlarged on anticipatory bail. Obviously, the petitioner has created the situation for lodging of the case against him and his family members. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the lower court and pray for regular bail and the court may look at the matter whether the allegation that the petitioner has married second time is correct or incorrect before enlarging him on bail. In view of above, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. Bhardwaj/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
