Mr.Suresh Prasad Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 03-05-2019 Petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No. 2050-C of 2018, corresponding to Trial No. S.C. 1330 of 2018, lodged for the offences punishable under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Allegation against the petitioner is of subjecting his wife, opposite party No.2, to cruelty with respect to demand of Rs.50,000/-.
It appears that the matter was referred to the Patna High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre but the petitioner did not appear before the Centre and Mediation report disclosed
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.5456 of 2019(4) dt.03-05-2019 2/2 that the petitioner did not appear for consecutive three days and as such mediation failed.
Heard learned APP and learned counsel for opposite party No.2, who has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail stating that even the matter was referred to the Mediation Centre the petitioner did not appear.
In view of above facts and circumstances and also considering the conduct of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. He should surrender and make prayer for regular bail. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
