Versus

2. Kiran Devi daughter of Bifan Prajapati, Resident of Village-Bara, P.O.- Bar Hussain, P.S.-Sherghati, District-gaya .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Abhay Kumar Thakur, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Rajeev Nayan, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE BIRENDRA KUMAR ORAL ORDER 22-06-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

The Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 323/504/498A/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Petitioner is husband of the complainant. There is allegation of demand of dowry and torture for the same. The report of the Mediator reveals that reconciliation has failed. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that complaint petition has been filed after thirteen years of marriage. Hence, allegation of demand of dowry and torture is not believable and appears to be concocted one.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.14725 of 2017 (3) dt.22-06-2017 2/2 On the other hand, learned counsel for Opposite Party No.2 submits that in fact in the year 2016 the husband has already married with another lady and he was in the job of air force but never got the name of Opposite Party No.2 entered into the service record, which shows his malicious mind from very beginning.

Considering the facts and circumstances, in my view, this is not a fit case for anticipatory bail. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is refused. (Birendra Kumar, J) Mkr./- U T
