IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20880 of 2009 MD.RAHMAN SON OF LATE MAD. HAKIM, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE KATESHAR RAMNAGAR, POLICE STATION SAKRA, DISTRICT MUZAFFARPUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 23.7.2009 Learned Counsel for the petitioner is permitted to make necessary correction in paragraph 9 of the application. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. Allegation is to the effect that informant’s marriage was settled with this petitioner and some gift was also given. Due to that informant started to come to his house and some physical relationship developed resulting to pregnancy for four months. When marriage was pressed the same was refused for demand of motorcycle and colour television in dowry. According to the learned Counsel, if the marriage was settled there should be some time limit for its execution. On one hand pregnancy was made known to all appears only to make it a ground for making demand of dowry, not believable. Otherwise was also, as submitted, differences are reconciled. Petition to the above effect was filed in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate which was sent to Investigating Officer for its consideration and that is - 2 - pending. Yet petitioner is apprehending arrest which in my view is also not justified. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, let the petitioner above named be released on bail in the event of arrest or surrender within one month from the date of communication of this order on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Muzaffarpur in Sakra P.s. case No. 291 of 2008, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
