JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 13-07-2017 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Complaint Case No. C-1/410/2016, disclosing offences under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioners are in-laws of the complainant. The matrimonial discord appears to be the root cause of lodging of the complaint petition.
The Courts have taken judicial notice of the fact that family members of the husband are implicated in order to create pressure on the husband and his family members.
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.21804 of 2017 (2) dt.13-07-2017 2/2 There is no reason for this Court to feel that if granted anticipatory bail, the petitioners shall flee from the course of trial.
Considering the nature of accusation and submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioners, this application is allowed.
Let the petitioners, namely, Dinesh Raut, Indrajit Raut, Savitri Devi and Samtola Devi, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court below within six weeks, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sitamarhi, in connection with Complaint Case No. C-1/410/2016, subject to the condition laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This is subject to the condition that the petitioners shall present themselves before the Court, as and when required and in the event of failure on his part to appear before the Court on two consecutive occasions, his bail bond shall be liable to be cancelled.
