Allegation against the petitioner, who happens to be husband of the informant, is that he subjected the informantwife to cruelty for non-fulfilment of demand of dowry. It appears that earlier the case was compromise and again she was tortured.
Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that he has not solemnized second marriage and he is still ready
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.35823 of 2019(4) dt.17-08-2019 2/2 to keep her, which will appear from the impugned order itself. Heard learned APP and learned counsel for opposite party No.2. They have opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail stating that petitioner is in habit of subjecting his wife to cruelty and torture as earlier case was compromised and against she was subjected to assault and torture and apart from that petitioner has married another lady and she has document in support of her contention.
In view of above facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
