IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15124 of 2009 MD. FIROJ @ MD. FIROZ ALAM, son of late-Mofizuddin, village-Balipara, P.S.-Azamanagar, District-Katihar. ……Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Nagma Khatoon, wife of Md. Firoz, resident of village-Balipara, P.S.- Azam Nagar, District-Katihar. ……Opposite Parties. ----------- 03. 31.08.2009 The petitioner is the husband who apprehends arrest in Complaint Case No. CA. 864 of 2008 instituted under Section 498(A) of the Indian Penal Code read with Dowry Prohibition Act. It appears that right from the time marriage took place the marriage was hardly consummated. Petitioner submits that in fact the complainant did not come to her matrimonial house and only to make an excuse to stay away from her matrimonial responsibility, this case was instituted. On the other hand, complainant states that no sooner she went to the matrimonial house, there was demand of dowry and she was thrown out. In my view, refusing relief to the petitioner would only be counter productive and would aggravate the situation. In the facts and circumstances stated above, let the petitioner namely Md. Firoj @ Md. Firoz Alam, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below 2 within a period of four weeks from today, be released on Anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar in connection with Complaint Case No. 864 of 2008 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr. P.C. Shageer (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J)
