IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39754 of 2009 NITTIN AGRAWAL @ MANTU Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR with Cr.Misc. No.38685 of 2009 1. SANTOSH AGRAWAL @ SANTOSH KUMAR AGRAWAL 2. SAVITA AGRAWAL -------------- PETITIONERS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 15.3.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Torture for demand of dowry is followed by setting the complainant on fire but the complaint petition is filed three years after the incident which is explained that complainant’s son remained with petitioners and danger on his life was the reason for not filing the case in time. Burn injuries would have been an accidental one but that is followed by maintenance case. Parties are not at agreement on the point of expense of treatment but after maintenance, this case is lodged. It is said that complainant was ousted but she succeeded to take her child with her and then only this case is filed. Continuation of difference justifies the allegation for refusal of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Taking the facts into consideration, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners 2 is rejected. The interim protection granted to the petitioners by order dated 8.2.2010 stands vacated.
