Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.37308 of 2014 (3) dt.09-07-2015 2/2 bail, in cases where the offence punishable under Section 498A IPC alone is alleged, the question of granting such bail in cases where offence punishable under Section 302 IPC is alleged does not arise. Unless the petitioners are arrested, there cannot be any meaningful progress in the case.

This application is, therefore, dismissed.
