IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18399 of 2011 LAKHINDRA PASWAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR. ----------- 2/ 15.6.2011 Heard. The husband of the complainant of Complaint Case no. 512 of 1999 on the basis of which FIR of Sonepur P.S. Case no. 124 of 2000 was registered under section 156 (3) Cr.P.C. is the petitioner. The allegation is that the petitioner and other accused persons were demanding dowry of rupees ten thousand for purchasing gold chain and other ornaments and were also pressurizing her to get her parents’ lands transferred to the petitioner. The contention is that the lady deserted the petitioner on account of not bearing any child and re-married another man, namely, Harendra Paswan from whom she begotten two children. Learned counsel for the petitioner could not satisfy me by production of satisfactory material as regards the correctness of the submission or the statement made in the petition except that a statement to that effect was made in the court below as also in the present petition and further that notices were sent to her at the address of the residence of her second husband but she was not appearing in spite of quite some chance given to her. It could be very difficult for this court to judge the veracity of the submission. At the same time, it would not be 2 appropriate to reject the submission out right. For these reasons alone, the court directs the Sessions Judge, Chapra to restore Anticipatory Bail Petition no. 64 of 2010 to its original number and file by setting aside the order dated 30.4.2011. The learned Sessions judge shall issue a notice to the Superintendent of Police concerned and obtain an appropriate report about the re-marriage, residence and begetting two children out of the wedlock of the lady with Harendra Paswan. If the facts are reported true, then the petitioner shall be admitted to anticipatory bail on execution of a bond to the satisfaction of the court below, else, an order in accordance with law shall be passed. The petition stand disposed of in accordance with law. Anil/ ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
