The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No. 4103C of 2015, registered under Sections 498A and 494 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of S.D.J.M., Saharsa.

The accusation is of torturing the complainantopposite party no. 2 by her husband and in-laws due to nonfulfillment of demand of dowry and driving out from her matrimonial house and also to perform re-marriage with another lady.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.2399 of 2017 (4) dt.03-07-2017 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that while the matter was referred to the Mediation Centre, Patna High Court, Patna, but the dispute between the petitioner and the complainantopposite party no.2, who are the husband and wife, could not be settled due to performing re-marriage by the petitioner with another lady.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for grant of anticipatory bail stands rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial court within four weeks and pray for regular bail, which would be considered by the trial court in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
