For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sheikh Arkan Ahmad, Adv. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. A.M. Mehta, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJENDRA KUMAR MISHRA ORAL ORDER 21-11-2017 Heard leaned counsel for the petitioner and the leaned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Buniyadganj P.S. Case No. 147 of 2016, registered under Sections 493, 376, 120-B, 323, 504 and 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of the S.D.J.M. Gaya. The accusation is that informant was taken by this petitioner at his house on the pretext to perform marriage with her and kept her about one year, but in spite of repeated request made by the informant, the petitioner refused to perform marriage and on giving much pressure, the petitioner and his family members made demand of cash for performing the marriage. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17625 of 2017 (7) dt.21-11-2017 2/2 petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in this case by the informant only to give undue pressure so that petitioner may perform marriage with the informant. On the other hand, learned A.P.P. submits that the informant has also supported the prosecution case in statement recorded under Section 164 of Cr.P.C.

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 trail 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.
