IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21292 of 2009 1. NARESH SAHNI 2. KANTI DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 06.07.2009 It appears that the petitioners were made accused of a case instituted under diverse sections of the Penal Code including section 498A and 406 of Indian Penal Code. Petitioner no. 1 is the husband of the complainant whereas the petitioner no. 2 is the second wife of the husband of the complainant. Learned counsel submits that the present complaint has been lodged 21 years after the marriage for the oblique reasons. It appears that the petitioners had moved this court for anticipatory bail which was disposed of on 15.2.2006 with certain observations. The petitioners thereafter did not comply with the said order, in stead it appears that they evaded arrest for nearly three years and were subsequently arrested by the police in connection with the case. They are, thus, in custody since 7.3.2009. Having regard to that aspect of the matter, this court, for the present is not inclined to admit them to bail. Their prayer for bail stands rejected. The petitioners are, however, granted liberty to renew their prayer for bail after four months. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J. )
