IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8059 of 2008 MD.FIROJ @ FIROJ & ORS Versus THE STATE OG BIHAR ----------- 3 12.5.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as also the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioners are apprehensive of their arrest in connection with Pandaul P.S.Case No.275 of 2007, registered under Sections-498A, 323,380/34 I.P.C. and have prayed for anticipatory bail. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioners that pursuant to divorce having been granted, the matter was compromised and the wife is living with her husband. Therefore, there is no question of any offence under Section -498A having been committed. From Annexure-2 which has been designated as petition of compromise, it appears that in fact it is not a petition of compromise, but a petition beseeching the Court to grant bail to the petitioners in view of a compromise having been entered into between the parties In the peculiar circumstances of the case, in the event that a compromise petition duly signed by all the accused persons and the complainant and attested by their respective lawyers is filed in the Court for compounding their difference, then in that event the learned Magistrate will consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law keeping in mind that the parties have compounded their differences. - 2 - With the aforesaid observation, this application is rejected.
