IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8739 of 2010 SATYANARAYAN MODANWAL @ SATYANARAYAN PD.MODANWAL Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. PUNAM KUMARI ----------- 02. 12.03.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner. No one appears on behalf of the State. The petitioner who is husband, has approached this Court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under section 498A IPC and sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is stated that a suit for restitution of conjugal right has been filed by the husband. This Court finds from Annexure-2 that the suit was filed subsequent to filing of the complaint. From the impugned order, it appears that in course of enquiry, witnesses have supported the allegation. In that view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail on his behalf is accordingly rejected. hr ( Kishore K.
