IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45661 of 2007 MANOJ SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 9. 20.8.2008 Heard. The petitioner is the husband and faces an allegation of illtreating and torturing his wife for not bringing the desired dowry of a motorcycle and a colour television. The allegation is further that not only the lady was asked to bring the dowry items but his brother who also attempted to know the reasons was also threatened that his sister may be killed if the required dowry was not given. There was some intervention of some well-wishers and there appears some settlements as per the allegations under which the petitioner had even executed a bond of treating the lady with respect and dignity but in spite of that the lady was turned out. It appears from the orders passed by this Court that the court attempted to reconcile the parties to their usual peaceful days but the husband had his own conditions and he was not ready to take back the lady. Having regard to the facts of the case, I do not find any merit in the petition. The same is dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
