IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14832 of 2008 RUPEN DAS & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 22.07.2008 Heard the counsel for the petitioners and the state as well as the complainant. Petitioner No. 1 Rupen Das is the husband. Petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Complaint Case No. 3115/07 registered for offence u/S 498A of the IPC and section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. In every case, what I find is that when the complainants are noticed, on appearance almost each one says that she wants to live with her husband and husband also shows his eagerness to keep his wife. I fail to understand if the matter is so simple why cases are being filed everyday and the cognizance are being taken. Section 498A cannot be utilized either to torture husbands or their family members and the husbands are not supposed to torture their wives and when apprehend their arrest, before this court they start to say that they are eager to keep their wives. The court cannot monitor marital life of couples if they are themselves are not eager to make their life happy and peaceful. Since both the parties are eager to live with each other, prayer for anticipatory bail on behalf of the petitioners, namely, Rupen Das, Mala Devi, Supon Das @ Supan Kumar - 2 - Das, Shanta Das @ Sant Lal Das, Shyamlal Das and Dhania Devi is allowed. In the event of their arrest or surrender within four weeks from today in the court below, they will be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Complaint Case No. 3115/07 to the satisfaction of SDJM, Katihar .
