IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16644 of 2010 PRIYARANJAN JHA @ PRADIP KUMAR JHA, SON OF SHRI INDRA NARAYAN JHA, RESIDENT OF WARD NO. 9, LOHIYANAGAR, P.O. + P.S. AND DISTRICT- SUPAUL. Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 3. 10.06.2010. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Sections 498A and 494 of the Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is submitted on his behalf that the informant is not his wife and in support of such fact it is pointed out that in Column No. 6 of the First Information Report she has described herself as daughter of Suresh Pathak and not the wife of petitioner. In this connection reliance is also placed on the matriculation certificate and the voter-list of the informant, Annexures 2 and 3 to this application. 3. From the contents of the First Information Report it is very much evident that petitioner got married to the informant who also gave birth to two daughters, as such, learned counsel for the petitioner is not right in submitting that informant is not the wife of the petitioner. From the contents of the First Information Report itself it is evident that having married the informant petitioner deserted her as also misbehaved with the two daughters aged about 16,17 years when they had gone to Supaul. 4. In support of this application affidavit has been sworn by Suprita Jha who claims herself to be the wife of the petitioner and younger sister of the informant. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest. His prayer for bail in the event of arrest is, accordingly, rejected. He is directed to surrender in the court below forthwith in connection with Supaul P.S.Case No. 89 of 2009 and apply for regular bail. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
