Mr.Kumar Ranjit Ranjan ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUNIL KUMAR PANWAR ORAL ORDER 17-07-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the informant and learned APP for the State. The petitioner has prayed for regular bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under sections 341, 323, 504, 506, 498(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 3/4 of the D.P. Act.

The prosecution case, in brief, is that earlier the marriage of the informant was solemnized with the petitioner and the petitioner along with co-accused used to torture the informant mentally and physically due to non-fulfillment of dowry demand.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. The

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19163 of 2023(3) dt.17-07-2023 2/2 petitioner is husband of the informant due to which he has falsely been implicated in the present case. He has never demanded dowry from the informant and still ready to keep his wife/informant with full dignity and honour. A statement has been made in para-3 of the petition that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. It is further submitted that the petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 6.1.2023. Learned APP appearing for the state and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer of regular bail.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as custody of the petitioner, this court is inclined to enlarge him on bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with Buxar Mahila P.S. Case No. 76 of 2021 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Buxar.
