IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27813 of 2010 SHIV KUMAR PANDEY Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 29.9.2010. Heard. The petitioner is the husband of the informant of Lalganj P.S.Case No.44 of 2008 is in custody since 15.7.2008. The report submitted by the learned trial Magistrate at flag-B indicates that the charges were framed initially under Sections 498 and 494 of the Penal Code on 16.12.2009 and two witnesses were examined whereafter a petition was filed for prosecution for addition of charges under Section 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act and an order was passed on 10.8.2010 that the defence was proposing to prefer a criminal revision against that order amending/adding the charge. In spite of having passed the order on addition or alteration of the charges the learned Magistrate was still to frame the charges and was simply living under the promise of defence that it may be a criminal revision before a Sessions division. The approach appears tardy. Considering the above facts and circumstances, let the above named petitioner be released from custody on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali at Hajipur in Lalganj P.S.Case No.44 of 2008.
