IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41163 of 2010 Congreshi Singh @ Awadhesh Kumar Patel @ Ram Awadhesh Singh son of Shri Udai Singh, resident of village- Adai P.S. Kargahar, District- Rohtas --- Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR---- Opp. Party. ----------- 2/ 19-11-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State as also learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a criminal prosecution for offence under section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, which is based on a complaint petition. According to prosecution case, the marriage of the petitioner was finalized with one Nisa Kumri, niece of the complainant. The complainant claims to have paid Rs. 80,000/- cash and a golden chain for the purpose of solemnizing the marriage but subsequently the accused persons including the petitioner are said to have started demanding some more dowry and, therefore, the marriage could not be solemnized. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as a matter of fact the prosecution party wanted to get the petitioner married forcibly with the niece of the complainant and for that reason, some dispute occurred between the parties leading to filing of the complaint petition. There appears to have bonafide dispute between 2 the parties regarding negotiation of marriage of the petitioner with one Nisa Kumari. Be that as it may, in the facts and circumstances of the case, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of four weeks from today, the above named petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10, 000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Rohtas at Sasaram in connection with Complaint Case No. 387 of 2009, subject to conditions laid down under section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C.
