Mr.Suresh Prasad Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 26-05-2022 Heard both sides.

Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Shambhuganj PS Case No. 157 / 2021 registered for the offence under Sections 341 / 323 / 498- A / 504 / 506 / 34 of the IPC and Section 3⁄4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. As per the First Information Report the marriage of the informant was solemnized with the petitioner on 03-082020. The allegation is that the petitioner and other accused persons thereafter started demanding dowry in cash as well as in kind and due to non fulfillment of the demand the petitioner and other accused assaulted and tortured the informant physically as well as mentally and thrown her out from matrimonial home.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.2745 of 2022(2) dt.26-05-2022 2/2 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case due to some trivial dispute between husband and wife and the petitioner is ready and willing to keep the informant as his wife with all care and dignity. The petitioner is in custody since 30/08/2021 and charge sheet has already been submitted.

Regard being had to the submissions made by the parties, taking into consideration the material on record, the fact that petitioner has got no criminal antecedent, he is in custody since 30.08.2021, charge sheet has already been submitted, there is no likelihood that petitioner will abscond or tamper with the evidence if released on bail, as such, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.

Let the petitioner, above named, be released on regular bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20000/- (twenty thousand ) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-IV, Banka in connection with Shambhuganj PS Case No. 157 / 2021.
