IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17913 of 2010 ARJUN PASWAN & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2 19.5.2010 Heard the learned counsel Sri Rajesh Kumar on behalf of the petitioners no.1. Arjun Paswan and 2. Punita Devi, who apprehend their arrest in Complaint Case No.491( C ) of 2009 under section 498(A) of the I.P.C. and ¾ of Dowry Prohibition Act. The complainant, namely, Soni Kumari, filed the aforesaid complaint allegedly making a general allegation against the petitioners and her husband that they are demanding motor cycle and Rs.1500/- per month as her maintenance cost. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that, in fact, the husband is ready to take her to his house but she is not willing to reside with her husband. The husband approached the local panchayat. The complainant before the panchayat also refused to stay with her husband. From perusal of the order as contained in Annexure-3 it appears that before Gram Kutchery , Bariyarpur, she refused to stay with her husband without any reasonable ground. Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case that the petitioners are the father –in-law and mother-in- law and the father-in-law being more than 65 years aged I direct both the petitioners to surrender before the court below within one month from today and on their surrendering they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like 2 amount each to the satisfaction of the C.J.M., Lakhisarai, in Complaint Case No.491(C )/09 subject to the condition as laid down under section 438(2) of r.P.C.
