IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7879 of 2011 RAJEEV KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2/ 18.3.2011 Heard. The case is under sections 498A and 406 of IPC initiated on the petition of complaint bearing number 1621 C of 2010. The allegations are coming from the wife of the petitioner that he used to come in drunken state and used to assault her even when she was carrying a child in her womb besides he had married another girl Nitu Devi on 7.5.2010. There is, of course, an allegation indicating that kerosene oil was also poured on the body of the complainant, however, she was saved any how but other allegations which appeared, are that she was being ill treated and tortured only because the demands for certain articles were not fulfilled. The contention was that the petitioner was a labourer and was not enjoying the status as to placing the demands for television, refrigerator etc. It was further contended that the petitioner was ready to take back the lady to his family fold. The court was requested to issue notice to the lady. It was quite not possible to carry out the proceedings of conciliation in a matter like the present one. Allegations are coming from the complainant and most intriguing allegation is that the petitioner being husband, in a drunken state, used to 2 beat the complainant, considering which, prayer for bail is rejected. The petition is accordingly dismissed. Anil/ ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
