IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32995 of 2010 MD.SIKANDAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 17.1.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Torture for demand of dowry is the allegation. Petitioner’s earlier prayer for anticipatory bail is refused in the year 2005. Explanation for non-appearance may never be taken as excuse to petitioner as there was clear direction to surrender before the court below during which if there would have been settlement that could favour the petitioner but he disappeared and came with an explanation that complainant left her parental house in the year 2004, divorced him, married another person can be verified by the trial court and if really averment made by this petitioner appears correct, relief can be given to him for bail but at the moment petitioner is not entitled for anticipatory bail. Hence, prayer for anticipatory bail on behalf of petitioner is again rejected. It is made clear that there shall be no prejudice due to this rejection order. AI ( Mandhata Singh, J.)
