THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.9155 of 2010 ORDER:- The petitioner herein apprehends arrest in crime No.126/2010 of Allipiri P.S., Chittoor District, registered for the offences under Sections 498-A, 323, 506 read with Section 34 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The acquisition made against the petitioner is that he demanded additional dowry from the de-facto complainant and harassed on that ground. Heard the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent- State. Learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that other accused have been admitted to anticipatory bail and the case of the petitioner stands on better footing than that of them. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State opposed the bail petition. I have gone through the report presented by Smt.Sheke Aisha wherein specific instances of harassment have been attributed to the petitioner, who is her husband. Therefore, the petitioner does not deserve for anticipatory bail. However, the petitioner is at liberty to surrender himself before the concerned Court and move an application seeking regular bail. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. _____________________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J 15th September, 2010 smr
