IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.26783 of 2009 MD.TALIB HUSSAIN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 08.09.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner, who is husband, is an accused based on complaint petition, has approached this court seeking bail in a case instituted under Section 498 A of Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is contended that while his matter seeking anticipatory bail was pending before the lower court, an effort was made for amicable settlement between the husband and the wife. Petitioner thereafter took the complainant to his home. Subsequently, the complainant again lodged a police case under Section 307 and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code, in which father of the petitioner as well as petitioner were put in jail custody. The settlement thus could not be arrived at. Petitioner is in custody since 02.05.2009. It is next contended that reason for lodging these cases is that the complainant is insisting upon the petitioner and his father to transfer the property in her name. The petitioner is the only son of his father. Be that as it may, having regard to the submissions as also keeping in view the fact that petitioner is in custody since 02.05.2009, this court is persuaded to admit him to bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial - 2 - Magistrate, Patna City in connection with Complaint Case No. 26 of 2008.
