AB 2131/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE H. BARUAH Heard Mr. S.M. Abdullah P, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. K. Munir, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State of Assam. The petitioner herein is the husband of Smti. Smita Barman. On 21.5.2011 Smti Sm ita Barman filed an FIR before the In-Charge, Bhagaduttapur Police Outpost alleg ing inter alia that she is being constantly ill treated by her husband for which it becomes impossible for her to stay in his company. Dispur P.S. Case No. 101 2/2011 is registered accordingly. The petitioner being apprehensive of his arres t in connection with this case filed this petition u/s 438 CrPC to provide him t he privilege of pre-arrest bail. From the allegation it appears that she has bee n ill treated both mentally and physically by the petitioner. It is no where sta ted in the First Information Report that she has been treated as such on account of her failure to satisfy his dowry demand. Though this case has been registere d u/s 498(A) IPC, such allegation is missing from the First Information Report. However, the First Information Report reveals physical torture on his wife by he r husband/present petitioner. Under the circumstances, this Court finds it appro priate to give liberty to the petitioner to approach the Court of the learned CJ M, Kamrup to apply for regular bail. The interim order provided vide order dated 22.7.2011 is extended to 30 days for the purpose of such appearance. With these directions, this bail application stands disposed of.
