.... .... Petitioner

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner : Mr. Ajit Kumar Sinha, Adv. For the Opposite Party : Mr. T.N. Thakur (App) Mr. Milind Kr. Mishra, Adv.

====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE ORAL ORDER 27-01-2015 The petitioner is being tried for offence punishable under Section 498A and allied Sections of I.P.C. The petitioner has been arrested and is in prison since 19.5.2014.

The petitioner filed Bail Petition No.485(B) of 2014 in the court of learned 1st Additional District & Sessions Judge, Bagaha, West Champaran, and the same was dismissed on 7.10.2014. Hence, this application. The prime allegation against the petitioner is 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.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.46419 of 2014 (2) dt.27-01-2015 2/2 is almost unwarranted. Therefore, further detention of the petitioner is not at all warranted.

Hence, the petition is allowed. The petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the A.C.J.M., Bagaha, West Champaran, in connection with Ram Nagar P.S. Case No.2/2014.
