Mr. Sanjay Kumar Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 13-12-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner is directed to remove the defects, as pointed out by the office, within a period of four weeks.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Sadar P.S. Case No. 399 of 2020 registered for the offences punishable under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purnea. The petitioner in association of his family members is said to have tortured the daughter of the informant and lastly killed her on non-fulfillment of demand of dowry. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that no such occurrence as alleged ever took place. He has been

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.10271 of 2021(2) dt.13-12-2021 2/2 falsely implicated in this case. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. The petitioner is the father-in-law of the deceased and he has no concern with the day to day affair of his son. He has no criminal antecedent.

Learned APP for the State vehemently opposing the bail petition submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is serious in nature, hence he does not deserve anticipatory bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances of case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Court below within four weeks from today and seek regular bail and the learned Court below would pass order in accordance with law without being prejudiced by this order.
