For the Petitioners : Mr. Sanjay Kumar, Advocate For the Opposite Party : Mr. Anand Kishore Choudhary, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE ORAL ORDER 27-01-2015 The petitioners are being tried for offence punishable under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioners have been arrested and are in prison since 9.8.2014. The petitioners filed Bail Petition No.1565 of 2014 in the court of 6th Additional Sessions Judge, Saran, Chapra and the same was dismissed on 11.9.2014. Hence, this application. The allegations against the petitioners are only referable to Section 498-A, I.P.C. In the recent past Hon'ble Supreme Court held that arrest and continued detention, in cases registered under Section 498-A, I.P.C. is almost unwarranted. Therefore, further detention of the petitioners is not at all warranted.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.42676 of 2014 (2) dt.27-01-2015 2/2 Hence, the petition is allowed. All the petitioners shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saran, Chapra, in connection with Dighwara P.S. Case No.108 of 2014. (L.
