ANAMIKA @ ANNU, W/O RAM KUMAR AND DAUGHTER OF SRI JITENDRA SHAHI, PRESENT ADDRESS:-C/O SRI AMRESH SHAHI, MOHALLA- MISHRA TOLA, GANNIPUR, P.S.- KAZIMOHAMMADPUR, DISTRICT-MUZAFFAPUR. ……….Opposite Parties. ----------- 2 21.12.2010 The petitioner is husband and apprehends arrest in Complaint Case No.800 of 2008 registered under Section 498A I.P.C. and 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. In the complaint, it is stated that the complainant soon after marriage was mistreated and upon demand of a motorcycle was returned to her Maika. Her mother being no more and her uncle being in private service outside the State she spent all her time with her uncle where she is residing. It is alleged that she came to know that on 12.4.2008 petitioner has married second time and as such complaint was being filed on 15.4.2008. Upon complaint being filed and complainant being examined, the court has not taken cognizance of offences other than 498A and the Dowry Prohibition Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that - 2 - perusal of complaint would show that it is mischievous as nowhere in the complaint the date of marriage is mentioned. Only the date of occurrence is given as 25.2.2001 which is about the time when the petitioner and the complainant got married. Thus, evidently, the case is after 8 years of marriage and the complainant for the last 8 years has been staying with her uncle. Be that as it may, in the event of arrest or surrender within four weeks from today, the petitioner above named is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of S.D.J.M.
