IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35571 of 2009 RAJ KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 07-10-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Addl. P.P. for the State. The petitioner is the husband. He is renewing his prayer for anticipatory bail in a Complaint Case No. 1208-C of 2007 which was registered for the offence punishable under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is submitted that on the previous occasion matrimonial case for restitution of conjugal rights was misinterpreted in submission as a criminal prosecution against the complainant and her family members leading to rejection of the prayer for anticipatory bail. Having considered the prayer for anticipatory bail, the allegations reiterated in S.A. are of assault by the petitioner, causing injuries on the head of the alleged victim and for the aforesaid reason, this Court is not satisfied that he is entitled to the privilege of anticipatory bail. This application is rejected. Any application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner is to be considered on its own merit in the light of the restitution case filed by him and the development therein, without being prejudiced by the present order.
