Darbhanga Sadar, District- Darbhanga ………………………Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Sabana Azami, D/o md. Islam, Village- Bharathi, P.S. Simari, Distict- Darbhanga ……………Opposite Parties. ----------- 7. 05. 04. 2010. Heard Mr. Ashok Kumar No. 1, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner. No one appears either for the State or O.P. No. 2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Simri P.S. Case No. 5/08, dated 23. 01. 2008, registered under Sections 498 A, 323, 379 and 504/34 of the Indian Penal Code as also Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. On the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner that there is a chance of reconciliation between the petitioner and the informant (O.P.No.2), by order dated 24. 07. 2009, the informant was permitted to be impleaded as O.P. No. 2 and notice was issued to her. Some interim protection was also granted to the petitioner. Thereafter, the matter was again heard on 17. 11. 2009, 25. 01. 2010, 10. 02. 2010 and finally on 29. 03. 2010 and on all dates referred to above, the matter was adjourned with a hope that reconciliation would be arrived at between the petitioner and O.P. No.2. The petitioner is the husband of O.P. No. 2. There is allegation of demand of dowry and torture against him. Learned counsel for the petitioner has fairly stated that 2 despite his best effort, the petitioner is not prepared to have any sort of compromise with O.P. No. 2 and he is not even in touch with him. Therefore, order passed on 25. 01. 2010, for physical presence of the petitioner could not be complied with. In the aforesaid back ground and in view of rigid stand of the petitioner, his prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is dismissed. The petitioner must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today, and if so advised, seek regular bail. If such a petition is filed in the court below, then the same may be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order. m.p. ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
