IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2393 of 2008 RANGILA SAH Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 5 03.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners are accused in a case registered for the offences under Sections 498A, 323 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation against the petitioner is of demand of dowry and torture as stated in the complaint. It is further alleged that earlier also the complainant had filed a complaint with similar allegation against the petitioner however the same was compromised. However, after some time when the complainant started residing with the petitioner, the petitioner again started demanding dowry, and as such, the present complaint has been filed. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the present complaint has been filed for ulterior purposes since the father of the petitioner is having the disease of ‘lucodarma’ and for that reason the complainant is not desirous to live with the petitioner. Learned Addl.P.P. on the other hand, on perusal of the case diary, submits that during investigation witnesses have supported the prosecution case in different paragraphs. 2 Considering the above and the nature of allegation levelled against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him the privilege of anticipatory bail. His prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is, accordingly, rejected. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
