For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Bam Bahadur Jha For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Bisheshwar Ram ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 01-07-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Mahila P.S. Case No. 141 of 2016 registered under Sections 341/323, 498-A, 448, 379, 307, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Regard being had to the fact that there is allegation that the petitioner not only assaulted his wife along with others but he also tried to set her on fire for which she was sent to Referral Hospital, I am not inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for pre-arrest bail is rejected. In case the petitioner surrenders and seeks bail, the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.25152 of 2017 (2) dt.01-07-2017 2/2 same shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order.
