IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14993 of 2008 MD.SOHEL AKHTAR @ SOHIL @ SOHI Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 3. 11.08.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the State as well as the learned counsel for opposite party no.2. The petitioner is an accused for an offence under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. Considering the nature of allegations levelled against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to him. The application is, accordingly, rejected. It is made clear that this order is passed without prejudice to the rights of surrender of the petitioner and on surrender, the petitioner, if so advised, files an application for bail, the same would be considered on its own merits.
