IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15830 of 2011 Dukhu Thakur Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 02/ 23.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. P.P. for the State. Admittedly, marriage of the petitioner had taken place with the informant five years ago. It is alleged that the informant was subjected to cruelty and harassment on account of non-fulfilment of illegal demand and on 20.6.2010, the petitioner gave one brick blow to the informant as a result of which the informant sustained injury on her head. Petitioner is languishing in jail custody since 15.1.2011 and it appears from perusal of the impugned order of the learned Addl. Sessions Judge VIII, Patna that notice had been sent to the informant for reconciliation but she did not turn up before the lower court for reconciliation. The specific stand of the petitioner is that informant is short tampered lady and, as a matter of fact, she does not herself want to lead conjugal life with the petitioner whereas the petitioner is ready to keep her with full honour and dignity. There is some sort of material available against the petitioner to show his attitude towards his wife but taking into consideration the period of detention of the petitioner as well as this aspect of the matter that the informant did not turn up before the learned court below for reconciliation, let the petitioner, Dukhu Thakur, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- 2 with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Addl.
