The petitioner being the husband of the informant has renewed his prayer for anticipatory bail in connection with Sarairanjan P.S. Case No. 215 of 2013 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498A, 307, 120B of the Indian Penal Code and 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Samastipur.

The basic accusation is of torture for nonfulfillment of the dowry demand and causing burn injuries.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17001 of 2015 (02) dt.13-05-2015 2/2 The earlier anticipatory bail application of the petitioner was disposed of on the ground that the informant was ready to reconcile the issue even defaced with the burn injuries, but the petitioner was not ready to accept the offer of the informant. The prayer has been renewed on the ground that the marriage has been dissolved between the petitioner and the informant by a judgment dated 02.01.2015 passed in Matrimonial Suit No. 17-A/2014.

This Court is not inclined to entertain the second anticipatory bail application.

Since the earlier anticipatory bail application was disposed of on 26.02.2015 and the judgment in the matrimonial suit was delivered on 02.01.2015, let the learned court below consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner keeping in view of the judgment passed in matrimonial suit. With the aforesaid observation, this application is disposed of.
