IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2489 of 2011 MD. AZIM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 24.02.2011 The petitioner being the husband is apprehending his arrest in a complainant case in which cognizance has been taken under Section 498(A) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The paragraph 4 of the impugned order reflects that the matter was compromised but it appears that the complainant died subsequently. From the materials available on record, it appears that there is nothing on record to suggest that whether any substantive case was filed after death of the complainant or not. Though the other family members have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court but since the petitioner’s anticipatory bail application has been earlier rejected in 2007, this Court is not inclined to interfere. Let the learned Court below consider the regular bail application of the petitioner, keeping in view the fact that the cognizance was taken under Section 2 498(A) of the Indian Penal Code and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act and complainant is no more alive and dispose off the regular bail application of the petitioner on the same day, if possible, if the petitioner surrenders within a period of four weeks from today. This application is accordingly, disposed off. Let the copy of the order be transmitted to the learned court below through FAX at the cost of the petitioner. Bhardwaj/- ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
