IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39089 of 2008 BHOLA DAS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 16.10.2008 Heard Mr. Balram Kapri, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. D. Mehta, learned A.P.P. The petitioner’s prayer for anticipatory bail was earlier dismissed by a Bench of this Court, as may appear from Annexure-1, only on the ground that the petitioner being the husband, he did not deserve being granted anticipatory bail. Some of the undisputed facts are that the petitioner was married to the complainant in the year 1994 and the complaint petition was filed in the year 2005 after about 11 years making allegation that the petitioner was demanding Rs.50,000/- in cash, a motor-cycle and a colour TV and not getting the same he mixed poison with the food of the lady and also attempted to set her at fire so as to killing her. The contention is that during the period of 11 years the petition begot sons and daughters from the lady and might be that the lady could either have gone over the demanding or might be that she was being instigated some circumstances in the life of the couple to get annoyed so much so to file a false complaint. Be that as it may, considering the years of marriage and the status of the petitioner as father of the children and further considering that the petitioner is in custody since 23.6.2008, let petitioner, namely, Bhola Das, be released on bail on furnishing - 2 - bail bond of Rs.3,000/-(Three thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Banka, in connection with Complaint Case no.1750 of 2005. sudip ( Dharnidhar Jha,J )
