Mr.Pranav Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 08-11-2019 Petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No. 476c of 2018 instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. As per complaint petition, marriage of the petitioner was solemnized in the year 2011 with the complainant and thereafter he demanded motorcycle and for that she was subjected to cruelty and accused persons tried to kill her by sprinkling kerosene oil and when people assembled they fled away and lastly complainant was ousted from the house. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that whole allegation is false and concocted as marriage was

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.71494 of 2019(2) dt.08-11-2019 2/2 solemnized in the year 2011 and the present case has been filed in the year 2018. Moreover, petitioner is still ready to keep her, which statement has also been made before learned Sessions Judge.

Heard learned APP, who has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail on the ground that petitioner has solemnized second marriage with another lady, who became pregnant. In view of above facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. He has to surrender and pray for regular bail, which shall be considered on its own merit, without being prejudiced by this order.

This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
