Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. Bobby Devi W/o Raj Kumar Mahto ----------- 4/ 11.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint case no. 2530 of 2008 registered for the offence under Section 498 A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Petitioner, who is husband, has been alleged for demand of dowry and causing cruelty due to its non-fulfillment but the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the marriage has been solemnized 12 years ago and continuation of the said demand for a such long time is not believable. Otherwise also all the family members including the married sister-in-law of the complainant have been made accused in the case and she is making every attempt to avoid the attempt to reconcile the differences. It appears that complainant herself has deserted her husband. In the event of arrest or surrender within one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order in connection with Complaint case no. 2530 of 2008, above named petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, - 2 - (East) Muzaffarpur, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
