IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.46365 of 2007 SURESH RAVIDAS Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. saro Devi ----------- 7. 06.11.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. No one appears on behalf of Opposite party no. 2, despite valid service of notice. The petitioner is the husband apprehending arrest in a complaint case under Section 498 A of the Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The submission is of his desire for revival of matrimonial harmony. He appears to have moved for anticipatory bail in 2006 on a complaint case filed in the year 2003 and after rejection by the court below has moved this Court nearly one year later. The application for anticipatory bail is, therefore, rejected as belated. If the petitioner surrenders within a period of six weeks and prays for regular bail, his application shall be considered appropriately in the background of his willingness and disinterest of the Opposite party no. 2 on the day that he surrenders keeping in mind the guidelines laid down by this Court in 498 A matters without being prejudiced by the present order.
