IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR.MISC. NO.28346 OF 2009 CHUMAN RAI, SON OF RAJ KUMAR RAI, RESIDENT OF VILLGE BAITHARWA, PIPRA KOTHI, POLICE STATION PIPRA KOTHI, DISTRICT EAST CHAMPARAN VERSUS THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ****** 2 29/10/2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner who is the husband is apprehending his arrest in a case under Section 498A, 323 and 379 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the husband had filed a case earlier in which he has alleged that his wife was being taken away by her parents and at the time of taking her away, the parents had also taken away all her belongings given to her during the wedding. The present case has been filed against the petitioner in which it is specifically alleged that there was a demand of dowry and that her husband was not at all interested in maintaining any relationship with her during the tenure of their marriage. Considering the allegations, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the above named petitioner. This application is accordingly dismissed. However, the Court below may consider 2 whether there is a possibility of conciliation between the parties at the time when the petitioner surrenders before the Court below before disposing of the regular bail application.
