For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Anil Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Shailendra Kumar Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 26-09-2018 Heard both sides.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Complaint Case No.2131/2012, registered under Sections 498A and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of D.P. Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected vide order dated 20.02.2015 passed in Cr. Misc. No.32806 of 2014 but the petitioner did not surrender in the court. Now the case has been compromised. The marriage has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce. Thus, petitioner may be enlarged on anticipatory bail but it appears from the fact itself that the prayer

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.52624 of 2018 (2) dt.26-09-2018 2/2 for anticipatory bail of the petitioner was rejected on 20.02.2015 but the petitioner did not surrender in the court for more than three and half years. The case is of the year 2012. This fact itself shows that the petitioner got scant respect of the order of the court and he is evading his appearance in the court for the last six years. Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is once again rejected.
