For the informant : Mr. Amitabh Bhardwaj, Advocate. For the State. Mr. R.S. Shastri, A.P.P. --------------- 3 10.5.2010 Heard the parties. In a criminal prosecution for the offence under section 498 A of the Indian penal Code as also u/s 3 and 4 of the Dowry prohibition Act the petitioner is the husband of the complainant. There is allegation of demand of dowry and torture against him. In the complaint petition itself it has been stated that previously she had filed another complaint case No. 723 of 2006 but that ended in a compromise between the petitioner and the complainant. It appears that after entering into compromise with the complainant, the petitioner has repeated the crime and, therefore, the present complaint petition has been filed vide Annexure-1. Now petitioner claims that he has filed a divorce case also against his wife and as such there is no possibility of restoration of matrimonial relationship between the petitioner and the complainant. In the aforesaid circumstances and in view of - 2 - allegation of repeated crime by the petitioner, his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. He must surrender in the court below in connection with C. R. Case No. 1682 of 2007 within a period of four weeks from today, and if so advised, seek regular bail, which shall be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order.
