Singh, Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY PRIYA ORAL ORDER 4/ 03-05-2017 Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and the State as well as counsel for the Opposite Party No.2. The Petitioner apprehends his arrest in Mahila P.S. Case No.80 of 2016 instituted for the offence under Section(s) 341, 323, 498-A, 406, 376/34 Indian Penal Code and Section 3⁄4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act pending in the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Buxar.

Petitioner is husband of the informant.

As per written report, marriage has taken place on 21.11.2016 and from the very next day the husband and other family members started torturing the informant and calling her lame and finally ousted the informant from the house. Both husband and wife are present in Chambers.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.3312 of 2017 (4) dt.03-05-2017 2/2 After talking with the petitioner-husband, this Court could not find any justifiable reason for not keeping the wife. Husband has stated that she is suffering from some knee problem, but this cannot be a ground for not keeping the wife. In our society, it is not the sweet will of the husband that he can behave with the wife in such a manner.

In view of such, this Court does not find it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail.

Prayer is rejected.

The petitioner may surrender before the Court below and seek regular bail, which shall be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. (Sanjay Priya, J) JA/- U T
