IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4225 of 2009 Ravindra Kumar Yadav alias Ramendra Kumar, Son of Late Baleshwar Prasad Yadav, Resident of Village Toknamath, P.S. Rosera. --------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar 2. Sharmila Devi, Daughter of Lal Bahadur Yadav, Resident of Village Mangalgarh, P.S. Hasanpur, Dist. Samastipur. ---- Opp. parties ----------- 2 8.5.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The petitioner-husband is seeking anticipatory bail for an offence under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code on the ground that the marriage was performed under duress and coercion. When this plea was examined, this Court would find that nothing beyond a Sanha was recorded and therefore, that can hardly be a ground to disbelieve the marriage. That being so, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner-husband, namely, Ravindra Kumar Yadav @ Ramendra Kumar and in the event, the petitioner surrenders before the court below within a period of four weeks from today, the court below shall consider the prayer for grant of regular bail on merit without being prejudiced by this order.
