IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2371 of 2009 1. MD.ALLAUDDIN S/O LATE SHAHID ANSARI 2. MD. NASRUDDIN S/O LATE SHAHID ANSARI 3. MD. SAMRUDDIN S/O LATE SAHID ANSARI 4. BIBI HARUNISA W/O MD. ALLAUDDIN 5. BIBI RAUSHAN W/O MD. NASRUDDIN 6. BIBI JALESHA W/O MD. SAMRUDDIN All resident of village – Pokhar Basti, Forbesganj, P.S. – Forbesganj, District – Araria. ……. Petitioners. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ……. Opposite Party. ----------- 03/ 24.03.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners are the near relatives of the husband of the complainant and they are apprehending their arrest in connection with a complaint case registered for the offences under Section 498A and other allied sections of the Penal Code, but counsel stated that cognizance has been taken only under Section 498A of the Penal Code. This Court after appreciating the allegations and argument had directed the counsel for the petitioners to implead the husband of the complainant as a petitioner in this application, so that efforts may be made for resolution of the matrimonial dispute between the parties. The counsel, however, after taking instructions, states that the husband being traceless, he cannot implead him as a petitioner. In the circumstances, considering the nature of the allegations in the complaint petition, I am not inclined to entertain the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioners in the event of arrest and this application is dismissed with direction to the petitioners to surrender in the court below within four weeks from today and apply for regular - 2 - bail which should be considered in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
