IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31 of 2011 RAMDEO THAKUR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 02.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the state. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Bihra P.S. Case No. 80 of 2000 registered under section-498A/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Admittedly, the petitioner is father-in-law of complainant’s daughter and no specific allegation of any overt act has been attributed against him. Although it would appear from perusal of the impugned order that charge sheet in the above-said case was submitted in the year, 2004 showing the petitioner absconder and, subsequently, on 23.08.2010, the petitioner was declared absconder by the court below. But there is nothing in the impugned order to show this fact that any process was ever served upon the petitioner before passing order dated 23.08.2010. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, the petitioner, namely, Ramdeo Thakur is directed to 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 Bihra P.S. Case No. 80 of 2000 to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saharsa. AKV/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
