IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43189 of 2010 BILTU MAHTO Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR. ----------- 2/- 12.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned P.P. for State. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Turkaulia P.S. Case No.50 of 2010 registered under Sections 498A, 307/34 of the I.P.C. and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Originally, informant filed Complaint Case which was converted into the above stated police case. Admittedly, petitioner is grand-father-in-law of the complainant and no specific overt act has been alleged against him. It is very shocking that inspite of the aforesaid fact the learned Additional Sessions Judge, 7th, East Champaran, Motihari has rejected the bail petition of the petitioner, who is languishing in jail custody since 26.09.2010. It is apparent from the aforesaid fact that the learned Additional Sessions Judge, 7th, East Champaran, Motihari did not apply his judicial mind while passing the impugned order. The concerned Additional Sessions Judge is warned to be 2 more cautious while dealing with the bail petition. Accordingly, the above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/ with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Motihari, East Champaran in connection with above stated Turkaulia P.S. Case No.50 of 2010. Ashwini/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
