IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3642 of 2011 DIPAK LAL GUPTA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 17.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is languishing in jail custody since 08-04-2010 in connection with Complaint Case No.288(C) of 2003 for the offences punishable under Section 498A, 323, 313, 379/34 of the I.P.C. It appears from perusal of complaint petition that the marriage of petitioner had taken place with complainant’s sister on 15.12.1999, but after marriage a dispute arose between petitioner and his wife and not only petitioner’s wife filed case but petitioner also filed case against his wife. It further appears that subsequently, the matter was compromised but again second round of litigation started between the parties. The impugned order of learned Additional Sessions Judge reveals that the victim was noticed by him several times, but she did not choose to appear before him and as a result of which the matter could not be materialized. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties coupled with period of detention of the petitioner in jail custody, I think it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, petitioner, namely, Dipak Lal Gupta be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-(Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Sheikhpura in connection with Complaint Case No.288(c) of 2003. It is made clear that if petitioner fails to appear before the learned court below on three consecutive, dates, the learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail bonds of the petitioner.
