IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8146 of 2010 ASHOK RAM Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 13.4.2010 Heard the parties. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with complaint case No. 355 of 2005 in which cognizance has been taken under sections 498A, 495 and 379 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is the husband of the complainant. According to the prosecution case the allegation of demand of dowry and torture is against the petitioner. It has also been alleged that petitioner had married another lady about 20 years ago but this fact was concealed at the time of marriage of the complainant. From the perusal of the impugned order passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Jehanabad it appears that effort was made for reconciliation of the entire dispute between the petitioner and the complainant. Though complainant was prepared to have settlement of the entire dispute, but the petitioner did not carryout the orders passed by the learned Session Judge and refused to arrive at any compromise In that back ground, the prayer for anticipatory bail made on behalf of the petitioner is rejected. Petitioner must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and, if so advised, seek regular bail If such a petition is filed, then the same may be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order.
