This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Complaint Case No. 1542 of 2015, disclosing offences under Sections 498(A) of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner, who is of clean antecedent, is innocent and has not committed any offence. There is general and omnibus allegation against this petitioner and no specific overt act is attributed to him. The petitioner is still ready to keep the complainant as wife with full honour and dignity but the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.6418 of 2017 (4) dt.23-08-2017 complainant herself does not want to reside with the petitioner. Hence, the petitioner deserves the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned A.P.P. for the State as well the informant has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the petitioner happens to be husband of the complainant and he is not ready to keep the complainant as wife. Earlier the matter was referred to mediation centre but the mediation could not be succeeded at the instance of the petitioner, which is evident from the mediation report.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of this petitioner is, rejected.
