Petitioner is the husband of the complainant who is accused in a case registered for the offences under Sections 498 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The allegation against the petitioner is of demand and torture as alleged in the complaint. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the complainant herself left the matrimonial house without any just excuse for that he has filed an application for restitution of conjugal rights. It is further submitted that the father of the petitioner has filed an informatory petition as contained in annexure-2 stating that his son and the complainant had separated from him. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that in view of the specific - 2 - allegation of demand and torture petitioner is not entitled to privilege of anticipatory bail.
