IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.28181 of 2011 Saurav Kumar Sinha son of Kunj Bihari Prasad, resident of Hydil Colony Chopan, P.S.Chopan District Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh. … Petitioner. Versus 1.The State Of Bihar . 2.Bidya Verma wife of Saurav Kumar Sinha son of Dhirendra Prasad Verma, Resident of Mohalla Jhilganj, P.S.Kotwali District Gaya… O.P. ----------- 4. 11.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the O.P.No.2 and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The case was earlier heard on 24th August 2011 on which date notice was issued to the O.P.No.2 for her appearance. Accordingly the case was heard on 9th November, 2011. On that date, petitioner/husband and the O.P.No.2, wife were present and a prayer was made on behalf of the husband to place the matter to-day (11th November, 2011) to enable him to make his stand clear as to whether he is ready to keep his wife with him or not. To-day the wife is present but the petitioner is absent. As per talk with the O.P.No.2, wife, I gathered that she is mentally fit to live with her husband, petitioner and lead her conjugal life and it is the petitioner, husband who is at fault for not keeping his wife. 2 In this view of the matter, this petition is dismissed and the court below is directed to expedite the case. It has been stated by the O.P.No.2 that the petitioner is working at Chopan in the State of Uttar Pradesh and there is every chance that he will avoid his appearance. In such circumstance, the learned court below is directed to take every possible step to secure his appearance and do the needful in the matter in accordance with law. Jay/ (Shivaji Pandey, J)
