IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19611 of 2010 SANJAY PRASAD GUPTA @ SHAHSI KUMAR GAURAV, son of Sri Gaya Prasad, resident of village – Khuthan, P.S.- Imadpur, District – Bhojpur (Ara). ---------- Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Suman Devi, W/o – Sanjay Prasad Gupta @ Shashi Kumar Gaurav, Resident of village P.O. + P.S. – Natwar, District – Rohtas. ------- Opposite Parties. ------- 03. 06.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the informant opposite party and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is named accused in this case being husband of the complainant. The couple were married in the month of February 2003, second marriage was performed just nine months thereafter, but the complaint was subject to torture for demand of dowry. Situation became worst when she given birth of female child as alleged. The petitioner has developed some illicit connection with a female relative and thereafter practically abandoned the complainant. The petitioner appears to have filed Matrimonial Suit No. 304/2009 before Principal Judge, Family Court, Ranchi, seeking dissolution of marriage mainly on the ground of alleged cruelty said to have been caused by the - 2 - complainant opposite party here. During the course of argument, learned counsel representing the complainant states that in spite of all lots she is ready and willing to continue the marital life with the petitioner but the offer appears to have been turned down. Considering the facts and circumstances, I am not finding this case fit for the privilege sought. Accordingly, this application stands dismissed. Rajeev/ (Akhilesh Chandra, J.)
