IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37213 of 2009 RAM NIYADI RAM & SANTOSH KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 5.1.2010. Heard. The allegation against the petitioners who are the father and son, is that after fixed up the marriage of petitioner no.2 Santosh Kumar with the daughter of the complainant, the petitioner no.1 Ram Niyadi Ram did not go through it merely because he was placing some additional demand for additional dowry which the complainant was not in a position to meet. Ultimately, the marriage could not be solemnized. The attention of the court was drawn to Annexure-2 which is yet another complaint petition but filed by petitioner no.1 Ram Niyadi Ram alleging that in spite of having fixed up the marriage and also having received gifts and presentation in the forms of ornaments and clothes the complainant of Complaint Case No.1058 of 2008 i.e., the father of the bride was not ready to go through the solemnization of marriage. After having gone through the complaint petition filed by petitioner no.1, - 2 - simply the court was not accepting the contention in the face of the allegations made by the petitioner no.1, on account of its experience of prevailing customs in the society. Regard being had to the allegations and the nature thereof, I am not inclined to direct the release of the above named two petitioners on anticipatory bail. The same is dismissed. However, if the petitioners surrender in the court below and pray for regular bail, the court below shall never be prejudiced to this order and consider the prayer in its true perspective. B.Kr.
