IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8749 of 2010 UPENDRA PRAJAPT Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 12.03.2010 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner who is husband, has approached this Court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under section 498A IPC. Several years after the marriage, the victim appears to have been tortured both mentally and physically as the husband developed relationship with another lady. The lady has been left to her own fate. It is stated that this allegation is being levelled after 15 years which cannot be readily accepted. Be that as it may, having regard to the allegation and the materials as reflected from the impugned order, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
