IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42660 of 2009 SURESH SINGH Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR & 2. DAIJI DEVI W/O SURESH SINGH ----------- 2 16.02.2010. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner who happens to be the husband apprehends his arrest in a case under sections 498A,494 I.P.C on the allegation that he married the widow of his younger brother, tortured and driven her out from the house for dowry. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the complainant has made a false allegation that the petitioner has married the widow of his younger brother. He submits that being a responsible member of the family, he looks after widow of his younger brother, who passed away at premature age. As such, no case under section 498A I.P.C. would be made out. He further submits that other allegations are also concocted. Notwithstanding the allegations made by Opp. Party No. 2, the petitioner is still willing to keep her with him. This application is disposed of with observation that if the petitioner surrenders and seeks regular bail, the same would be disposed of on its own merit preferably on the same day without being prejudiced by this order. It is always open to the parties to compromise the matter. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh,J).
