IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7468 of 2008 MANI SHEKHAR PASWAN & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 02.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioners pray for anticipatory bail in a complaint case in which cognizance has been taken under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation in the complaint is that after two three years of marriage which had taken place on 7.6.2002, a child was born and thereafter the in-laws of the complainant started torturing her for non-fulfillment of demand of Rs. 80,000/- as dowry. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the complaint case has been filed on false allegation and true state of affairs and real reason for the same appears to be what the complainant herself has reported to the Police Station on 15.5.2007, on the basis of which Station Diary Entry was made which is annexed as Annexure-2. In the said Police report she had stated an entirely different story that she started to live with her Dewar as husband and wife and subsequently, when the husband returned he beat up his younger brother and was trying to get him remarried. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that the entire allegations made in the complaint was false, general and omnibus and there is no specific allegation against any of the petitioners. - 2 - On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, it is directed that the petitioners, (1) Mani Shekhar Paswan, (2) Silam Devi, (3) Chandra Shekhar Paswan, (4) Rabi Shekhar Paswan, (5) Heera Devi, and (6) Puspa Devi, in the event of their arrest/surrender in the Court below within four weeks from today, shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 7000/- (seven thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Complaint Case No. 777/07 to the satisfaction of Sub- Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Madhubani.
