IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8785 of 2010 SUNIL PRASAD Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 15.03.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner who has been depicted as Dewar in the FIR, has approached this Court for grant of anticipatory bail in a case instituted under sections 498A, 379 and 34 IPC including sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Going by the recitals in the FIR, there appears to be allegation of torture against the petitioner as well. The informant has also alleged that this petitioner had earlier tried to commit rape on her. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation(s) is/are general and omnibus. The husband of the petitioner is already in custody. There is/are material(s) on record to indicate that the petitioner was living separately Be that as it may, having regard to the allegation, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner to anticipatory bail. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. Let the petitioner surrender and apply for regular bail which shall be considered on its own merit uninfluenced by the present order. hr ( Kishore K.
