IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40249 of 2008 ARUN RAM, son of Late Narayan Ram, resident of Village Samsipur Diyara Maug Bazar, P.S. Vidyapati Nagar, District Samastipur -------Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 8.12.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.1534 of 2004 for the alleged offences under sections 498A and 323 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation against the petitioner along with other co-accused is of demanding dowry. Later the petitioner is alleged to have married another lady and brought her in his house and further the accused persons, including the petitioner, started torturing the complainant. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegations, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. However, on surrender in case an application for regular bail is filed in the 2 court below, the same would be considered on its own merits in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the present order.
