IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34603 of 2010 MAHESHWAR YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 22.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the state. Admittedly, the petitioner is father-in-law of the victim girl whose marriage had taken place in the year, 2004 but subsequently, it is alleged that she was subjected to cruelty and harassment by her in-laws including the petitioner in both ways; mentally and physically. It is further alleged that one fine morning the victim girl alongwith her two daughters was found missing from her matrimonial home. The contention of learned counsel for petitioner is that husband has already been sent to the jail custody and so far as petitioner is concerned, no specific overt act has been attributed against him and he is languishing in jail custody since 12.06.2010 and moreover, the police has already submitted charge sheet only for the offence u/S 498A, 364/34 of the IPC and 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Considering the aforesaid submissions as well as circumstances of the parties, I direct the petitioner, Maheshwar Yadav to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each In connection with Maheshkhunt P.S. 2 Case No. 138 of 2009 to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khagaria.
