JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 21-12-2016 Heard Sri Pankaj Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Abhay Kumar Roy, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor.

Two petitioners, who are father-in-law and motherin-law of the informant's sister, have approached this Court for grant of anticipatory bail in Sheikhopur Sarai P.S. Case No.84/16 registered for the offence under Section 364, 498(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/ 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It was submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are old persons and they have falsely been implicated in the present case, whereas learned Addl. Public Prosecutor , by way of referring to the facts disclosed in the F.I.R. submits that on perusal of the F.I.R. it is evident that the case was

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.54958 of 2016 (2) dt.21-12-2016 2/2 to be registered under Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code, but still the case has been lodged under Sections 364, 498(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Be that as it may, keeping in view the nature of accusation on the face of F.I.R. itself, there is no reason to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail.

The petition stands dismissed.
