IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38938 of 2009 SIDHESHWAR PRASAD CHAUHAN @ SIDHESHWAR PRASAD, son of Sohari Jamadar, village Balwachak Beldari, PS Silao, district Nalanda – petitioner. Versus SATTE OF BIHAR & ANR . ----------- 2 22.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner who is the husband apprehends his arrest in a case under section 498A of the Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the marriage took place twenty two years ago and all the sons are adults. On the other hand, it appears that the husband is responsible for ill treating his wife and has driven her away from the house and has taken another woman into his house as a result of which she was left with no option but to file this case. Considering the allegations I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. This application is dismissed. In case the petitioner surrenders, the court below shall disposed of the bail petition expeditiously without being prejudiced by this order. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
