IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17438 of 2008 DHARMENDRA RAI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 3. 26.9.2008 Heard both the sides. Petitioner apprehends arrest in a case under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. This petitioner is the husband of the victim lady. The only submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that he has already been taken divorce from Kolkata Court. However, Annexure-2, the decree in matrimonial suit would go to show that the same has been obtained ex-parte after filing of the present complaint case. Under the circumstances above, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the court below and pray for regular bail. DKS/ (Ghanshyam Prasad, J.)
