IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23589 of 2009 MD.FAIYAZ AHMAD @ MD.FAIAZ Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 16.09.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner who is husband, has approached this Court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under section 498A IPC and sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is contended that eight years after the marriage, the present allegations have been levelled against him by his wife. The petitioner is always prepared to keep her with all dignity, love and affection in the matrimonial home as his wife. This Court finds from the impugned order that the victim in course of enquiry made a statement in which she supported the allegations made against the husband. In that view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Let the petitioner surrender in the court below and apply for regular bail which shall be considered on its own merit uninfluenced by the present order. This application with the aforesaid observation is accordingly disposed of. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
