IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR.MISC. NO.16679 OF 2011 NARESH PRASAD SINGH @ NARESH KUMAR SINGH, SON OF NAGDEV SINGH @ NAGESHWAR SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE UDHOPATTA, POLICE STATION BISHUNPUR, DISTRICT DARBHANGA VERSUS THE STATE OF BIHAR ******** 2 02/06/2011 Heard Counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner, who is the husband, is an accused in a case under Sections 498A & 379 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. In connection with the case, he has remained in custody since 22.02.2011. The petitioner had moved before this Court for grant of anticipatory bail which was disposed of with a direction that the petitioner would not be arrested for the next six months, in the mean time, it was expected that both the parties would withdraw their respective cases and try to maintain matrimonial harmony. Apparently, the petitioner did not withdraw the divorce suit nor did the informant withdrew the present criminal case. It appears that the attempts to reconcile the differences have failed. Considering the period of custody, the above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail in 2 Complaint Case No. 2137 C of 2008 on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali at Hajipur.
