For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Krishna Narayan Jha, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Dilip Kumar(APP) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA MISHRA ORAL ORDER 23-07-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Jalley P.S. Case No.90 of 2014 for allegedly having committed the offences under Sections 323, 498A, 376, 504/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is Bhaisur and his brother Anil Pradhan, who is the husband of the informant, had disappeared from his Sasural and the lady in question had been indulging in extra-marital affairs, which was being protested upon by the petitioner and his entire family members. It is further submitted that prior to the lodging of the present F.I.R., the petitioner had filed a station diary entry in the court of C.J.M., Madhubani that he was being threatened

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.20146 of 2015 (2) dt.23-07-2015 2/2 by the wife of his younger brother and her family members that he would be implicated in false cases. It is further submitted that his brother perhaps has been sent out to work elsewhere. From a perusal of Annexure 2, it appears that the present case is one of family dispute in which the informant had been demanding her share from the petitioner's side, which has perhaps been resisted by them.

Considering the nature of allegations and the peculiar facts and circumstances and also the fact that other family members of the petitioner have also been extended the privilege of anticipatory bail by the court below, let the above named petitioner, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Darbhanga, in connection with Jalley P.S. Case No.90 of 2014, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. (Anjana Mishra, J) PNM U T
