No.11718 of 2009 SATYA PRAKASH GUPTA, son of late Nathuni Prasasd Gupta, Resident of village – Rampur Chai, PS – Karpi (Shahar Telpa), District-Arwal. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04. 27.07.2009 Heard learned senior counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the informant and learned APP for the State. Petitioner is father-in-law who is an accused in Jehanabad P S Case No. 381 of 2008 which was instituted under sections 498A, 379 and 323 of the Indian Penal Code read with sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Submission of the learned senior counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner has already remained in custody as an under-trial prisoner since 3.11.2008 for the allegations made against him, but even in the FIR except demand for dowry there is nothing specifically mentioned against him and to that extent he deserves to be enlarged now on bail since he is still to face trial in the matter. Looking at the allegation alleged against the petitioner, let petitioner Satya Prakash Gupta be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- with two sureties to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jehanabad in Jehanabad P S Case No.381 of 2008 with a direction that petitioner will co-operate in the trial of the case and shall not abscond.. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
