IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39901 of 2010 RAM JI SHARMA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 08-Nov-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner is husband of the alleged victim in a case under Section 498A of the IPC and Section ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Even after conselling the complainant did not agree to live with the petitioner on the ground that she has a fear that she will again be tortured and denied food etc. as in the past. The petitioner, no doubt, wants the complainant to live with him but he has to reassure his wife that she will be given proper food and there shall be no further torture. For this he must meet his wife and take the required steps. Considering the special responsibility of the petitioner as husband, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. This order shall not prejudice the case of the petitioner if he surrenders and seeks regular bail. 2 In case, petitioner surrenders within ten weeks and satisfies the court below that there has been compromise between him and his wife, in that event, he shall be enlarged on bail on the date of surrender itself in connection with Complaint Case No. 808(c )/2009 pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Buxar. perwez ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
