IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.251 of 2010 MANOJ KUMAR TANTI S/o Ramprit Tanti Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 3/ 05.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner, who is husband, apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offence under Sections 341, 323, 494, 498 A, 379/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner works at Haryana and the allegation that he has given threat for another marriage is absolutely false. Learned counsel further submits that he has not entered any compromise earlier. The informant alleged that the Jila Parishad Member Smt. Anita Devi and other punches persuaded the parties to arrive at a compromise, thereafter again the husband and others began to torture her. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. His prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, if he surrenders before the court below (Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai in connection with Birpur P.S. case no. 02 of 2009) within six weeks from today and seeks regular bail, the same would be disposed of without being prejudiced by this order.
