IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42340 of 2010 VIJAY PRABHAKAR RANA @ BANTI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5/ 13.4.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Prayer for bail has been made in a case under section 498A IPC on behalf of the husband, who is in custody since 14.8.2010. There is no dispute between the parties about one admission that the petitioner had entered into yet another wedlock with other lady, subsequently turning out the complainant from the matrimonial house. Allegations are manifold in the written report but considering the solitary instance of torture as indicated above, the court is not inclined to direct release of the petitioner. The petition is dismissed. The learned counsel for the petitioner was pointing out that there might be some chance of compromise between the parties. If that happens in the court below, then the court below, who could be seized with Islampur P.S. Case no. 43 of 2010, shall encourage the parties to enter into a compromise and shall further encourage them to settle the whole dispute out of court, may be, through one time settlement after payment or receipt of a particular amount, which might be agreeable to the parties. If that happens, the court shall not examine any witness except the complainant and on that basis, dispose of the case 2 preferably within one month from compromise. Anil/ ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
