IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22140 of 2009 SUNIL KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 09.09.2009 Heard both sides. Petitioner, who is husband, has approached this court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Section 498A of Indian Penal Code. It is contended that in spite of different adjournments granted by the court below, the informant did not turn up for settlement/compromise. This court finds from the record that petitioner was directed to produce the informant for compromise but he failed and subsequently the matter was considered on merit and prayer was refused. The F.I.R. discloses that the informant was also assaulted by the family inmates of the petitioner. Looking to the allegation, this court is not satisfied that a case for anticipatory bail is made out. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J. )
