1. Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. The petitioner has preferred this application for grant of anticipatory bail apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint Case no. 478(C) of 2023 registered under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code.
3. As per the prosecution case, the opposite party no. 2 was married to the petitioner herein in the year 2016. It is stated that soon thereafter, the accused persons including the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.40848 of 2025(4) dt.08-10-2025 2/3 petitioner, who happens to be her husband, started to torture the complainant for non-fulfillment of the demands by way of Rs. 8 Lacs in cash for purchase of tractor etc. She was ultimately forced out of the house.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case only for the reason that he happens to be the husband of the complainant. In fact, the complainant was suffering from mental/psychological problem for which she had also been medically treated, which would be evident from the contents of the prescription brought on record. The allegations of assault, torture, etc are all false and concocted. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent.
5. The application for anticipatory bail is opposed by learned A.P.P. for the State and learned counsel for the complainant. Learned counsel for the complainant submits that even on an earlier occasion, a complaint was filed against the petitioner in the year 2021. Though in the Panchayati held, the petitioner undertook to keep the complainant properly, the torture once again having started, has led to the instant complaint. It is further submitted that because of the conciliation between the parties on the false promise by the petitioner led to the earlier complaint being dismissed for non-prosecution.
