IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43847 of 2008 RAJEEV KUMAR RANJAN S/O SRI NANDAN KAMAT, R/O VILL. BASUDEBA, P.S. GHAILARH, DIST. MADHEPURA. ----- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. RAMBHA DEVI W/O RAJEEV KUMAR RANJAN R/O VILL. BASUDEVA, P.S.GHAILARH DIST. MADHEPURA A/P R/O D/O LAL BAHADUR BISHWAS, R/OVILL. KATUSH, DISTT. SAHARSA. ---- OPP. PARTIES. ----------- 04. 20.04.2009 Heard both sides. The sole petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Section 498A of the Penal Code and Section ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is submitted that petitioner is prepared to keep the complainant in his matrimonial home as his wife and to give her due love, care and affection. This court finds that earlier the petitioner had lodged an application in the family court, Saharsa for restitution of conjugal rights vide M.M. No. 56 of 2007. In the said case, the complainant had filed an application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act seeking maintenance and the court under order dated 11.07.2008 granted the same. Learned counsel for the informant informs the court that the said order was never honoured by the petitioner and subsequently the application for restitution was also withdrawn. In that view of the matter, this court is not persuaded 2 that a case for anticipatory bail has been made out. Accordingly, the application seeking anticipatory bail stands rejected. Sym/ (Kishore K.
