IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15628 of 2010 SHAILESH RANJAN , SON OF SHRI CHANDRA SHEKHAR PRASAD, RESIDENT OF MOHALLA- NEW COLONY, BETTIA, P.S. BETTIAH TOWN, DISTT. W. CHAMPARAN(BETTIAH). …….PETITIONER. Versus STATE OF BIHAR. ………… OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- 8. 25.02.2011 Heard the parties. The petitioner who is husband apprehend arrest in relation to Bettiah Town P.S. Case No. 80 of 2010 instituted under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and ¾ Dowry Prohibition Act. As instituted by the informant, who is none else the wife of the petitioner, parties were married on 22.2.2008. The allegation is that soon after marriage, her husband used to call her ugly and then started demand of dowry. Ultimately she was driven out of the house. Petitioner submits that in fact, soon after marriage the informant of the case herself suffers from several mental ailments, which was concealed and on discovery, it becoming known only to pressurize the present case has been brought. From the order of this court, it appears that notice was issued to both, the husband and wife so that 2 effort could be made for conciliation though, the husband appeared and wife appeared through the lawyer but refused to appear before the Court in spite of repeated adjournments this matter was on list last week also and even today again. On behalf of the informant further short adjournment is sought for her appearance. In my view there is no point in keeping this matter pending any longer. Be that as it may, in the event of arrest/surrender within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order petitioner, namely, Shailesh Ranjan, is directed to 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 learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, West Champaran, Bettiah in connection with Bettiah Town P.S. Case No. 80 of 2010, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Devendra/ ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
