AB 2543/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C. R. SARMA Heard Mr. D.K. Sarmah, learned counsel, appearing for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. B.S. Sinha, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor, appearing for the State-respon dent. This is an application filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C., seeking pre-arrest bail in favour of the petitioner, namely Sri Gautam Chakraborty, in connection with R angia P.S. Case No.324/11, under Section 498(A) IPC. Perused the Case Diary. The allegation made in the FIR is that the petitioner, who is the husband of the informant, used to torture her, demanding dowry and that she was driven out fro m the marital home due to her failure to bring dowry. In the FIR, it has also been alleged that the informant had been compelled to le ave her marital home along with her daughter of one and half year old, due to th e torture meted out to her in connection with demand of dowry. Having heard the learned counsel for both the parties and considering the materi als on record and the nature of allegations brought against the petitioner, I do not find it to be a fit case to extend the benefit of pre-arrest bail. Hence, the prayer for pre-arrest bail is rejected. The A.B. Application is disposed of. Return the Case Diary.
