IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5484 of 2010 MD.RASHID ANWAR . Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- For the Petitioner: Mr.Nasrul Hoda Khan, Advocate For the State : Mr.A.A.Khan, APP 3 6.4.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case under section 498(A) of the Penal Code and section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The petitioner submits that he lives in the State of Orissa and the alleged occurrence did not take place in Begusarai district. The allegation that the accused persons came to her parent’s house and demanded dowry seems improbable. In fact, the parties compromised the matter before the Markezi Darul Quaza Imarat Shariya, Phulwarisharif, Bihar, Orissa and Jharkhand in Case No.12/339 and 23/350/1429 Hizri dated 15.11.2008. He further submits that the petitioner is willing to keep the complainant with due care and affection. It appears from the order of the learned Sessions Judge that the complainant refused to go with the petitioner as she was subjected to assault by the accused persons. After hearing counsel for the parties, this court passes the following order: i) No coercive steps would be taken against the petitioner Md.Rashid Anwar till six weeks from today in connection with Complaint Case No.879C of 2009 2 KHAN pending in the court of the S.D.J.M., Begusarai. ii) If during the aforesaid period, the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail and if complainant appears and expresses her desire to live with the petitioner then in such circumstances the learned court below, in seisin of the matter, may grant bail to the petitioner, otherwise he would dispose of the same on its own merits. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this application stands disposed of. (S.P.Singh,J)
