IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25657 of 2009 NAGESHWAR YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 21.8.2009 Heard. The father of the husband of the complainant Rita Devi is in custody in a case under Section 498(A) of the Indian Penal Code. As may appear from the statement made in the petition as also from the report submitted by the Computer Section of the Court, some of the co-accused who bore similar and general allegation have been admitted to anticipatory bail. The court below has dismissed the prayer for bail of the petitioner only because the husband had not appeared. I do not approve of the approach of the learned Judge who dismissed the prayer for bail on the ground as indicated above. The Judge also appears not obeying the direction of this Court issued earlier to Judicial Officers under which it was directed that in case an accused is admitted to bail 2 by the High Court then similarly situated accused are to admitted to bail. He is directed to approach the situations like the present one with an attitude which could be judicious. Regard being had to the general nature of allegation and considering that other co-accused have been admitted to anticipatory bail, let the petitioner, namely, Nageshwar Yadav be released on his furnishing a bond of Rs. 3,000/-( three thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sub- divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sherghati, Gaya, in Complaint Case No. 507 of 2008.
