Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has filed Matrimonial Case No. 151 of 2018 in the court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Ara, for divorce due to cruel behaviour of informant-opposite party no. 2, who is the wife of petitioner, due to that reason petitioner does not want to live with informant-opposite party no.2.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the informant-opposite party no. 2 submits that due to nonfulfillment of demand of dowry, informant-opposite party no. 2 was being tortured through various modes and removed from her matrimonial house along with her son and when she filed Maintenance Case No. 118 of 2018 under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C. before the Principal Judge, Family Court, Ara, petitioner has also filed matrimonial case only to give undue pressure. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for grant of anticipatory bail stands rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial court within four weeks and pray for regular bail, which would be considered by the trial court in accordance with law without
