Mr.Anuj Kumar Shrivastava ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 06-01-2020 Petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Bihpur (Bhavanipur) P.S. Case No. 62 of 2019, corresponding to G.R.No. 184 of 2019, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 498A/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per FIR there is allegation against the petitioner, who happens to be husband of the informant, that he demanded Rs.5 lac and for that he assaulted her. It further appears from the FIR that parents of the informant tried to intervene but petitioner has not accepted the same and it further appears from the impugned order that informant was present in the court below while hearing bail petition of the petitioner and she showed her

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.84407 of 2019(2) dt.06-01-2020 2/2 intention to reside with the petitioner but petitioner refused to keep her.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that as a matter of fact the informant was not behaving well with parents of the petitioner, as such situation arises and allegation is false and concocted.

Heard learned APP, who has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

In view of above facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. However, if he surrenders and prays for regular bail, the same shall be considered on its own merit. This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
