                               Criminal Miscellaneous No.19439 of 2011

…. …. Petitioner/s
Versus

1. The State Of Bihar

2. Minti Devi.

…. …. Opposite Party/s
======================================================

4 16-11-2011 The petitioner being the husband is apprehending his

arrest in connection with Complaint Case No. 698C of 2010 in

which cognizance has been taken under Section 498A of the

Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act

pending in the court of learned Sub-divisional Judicial

Magistrate, Buxar.

The marriage was performed in the year 2004 when the

present complaint was filed on 28.06.2010 with the accusation

of torture and demand of dowry. It appears that subsequent to

the present complaint, the petitioner has filed a divorce case on

28th of July 2010.

The petitioner and opposite party no.2 are present. The

opposite party no.2 is ready to resume the conjugal life,

however the petitioner no.2 declines to accept her as wife.

In the circumstances, this Court is not inclined to grant

bail to the petitioner no.2. Accordingly, the application for
anticipatory bail with regard to petitioner no.2 is rejected.

In pursuance to the earlier order, the cost of Rs. 1,000/-

has been paid to the opposite party no.2.
