Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner filed ABP No.1729/2014 in the court of learned Sessions Judge, Bhagalpur Camp Court at Banka. The same was rejected through order dated 26.08.2014.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor.

The allegation against the petitioner is referable to

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.45404 of 2014 (4) dt.02-07-2015 2/2 Section 498A IPC. In the recent past, the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that arrest and continued detention, in cases registered under Section 498A IPC, is almost unwarranted. Therefore, it is not at all necessary to arrest an accused in a case of that nature.

Hence, this application is allowed. It is directed that in the event of his arrest, the petitioner, namely, Sk. Imtiyaz @ Imtiyaz shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Banka, in connection with Complaint Case No. 2315/2013, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) CrPC.

It is further directed that in case the complainantwife intends to join the petitioner, he shall be under obligation to take and maintain her. If the petitioner refuses to maintain her, the anticipatory bail shall stand cancelled.
