IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5446 of 2011 MD. EJAZ ANSARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 21.06.2011 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Sections 376, 420 and 341 of the Indian Penal Code and Section ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Initially, the complaint petition was filed with the accusation that from 12.05.2008 to 05.05.2010, the petitioner established physical relationship with the complainant on promise of the marriage but subsequently, due to non-fulfillment of the dowry demand, the petitioner refused to marry. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the complaint was lodged with inordinate delay. The medical report does not suggest the accusation levelled by the complainant. Actually, the accusation of establishing forceful physical relationship is dated 12.05.2008 whereas the complaint 2 was lodged in June, 2010. Considering the fact that delayed lodging of the complaint clouds the bona fide of the accusation, let the above named petitioner, be released on anticipatory bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of 12 weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya in connection with Belaganj P.S.
