Heard the learned APP also as well as the learned counsel for the informant.

Learned counsel for the informant has submitted that there is the allegation against the petitioner of demand of dowry and torture.

Considering the argument of both the parties, I am not inclined to grant privilege of pre-arrest bail to him and accordingly, his such prayer stands rejected in connection with Bind P.S. Case No. 96 of 2016 pending in the court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-II, Nalanda at Biharsharif. Let the petitioner surrender before the court below and the court below will consider the submission advanced by the learned counsel of the petitioner and will pass appropriate order without being prejudiced by the order of this Court. Accordingly, this application is disposed of. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) ajaypd./- U T
