                                              -----------

8. 25.02.2011 Heard the parties.

The petitioner who is husband apprehend

arrest in relation to Bettiah Town P.S. Case No. 80 of

2010 instituted under Section 498A of the Indian Penal

Code and ¾ Dowry Prohibition Act.

As instituted by the informant, who is none

else the wife of the petitioner, parties were married on

22.2.2008. The allegation is that soon after marriage,

her husband used to call her ugly and then started

demand of dowry. Ultimately she was driven out of the

house.

Petitioner submits that in fact, soon after

marriage the informant of the case herself suffers from

several mental ailments, which was concealed and on

discovery, it becoming known only to pressurize the

present case has been brought.

From the order of this court, it appears that

notice was issued to both, the husband and wife so that
2

effort could be made for conciliation though, the

husband appeared and wife appeared through the

lawyer but refused to appear before the Court in spite

of repeated adjournments this matter was on list last

week also and even today again.

On behalf of the informant further short

adjournment is sought for her appearance.

In my view there is no point in keeping this

matter pending any longer. Be that as it may, in the

event of arrest/surrender within four weeks from the

date of receipt/production of a copy of this order

petitioner, namely, Shailesh Ranjan, is directed to be

released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-

( ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount

each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial

Magistrate, West Champaran, Bettiah in connection

with Bettiah Town P.S. Case No. 80 of 2010, subject to

the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2)
