                                       ORAL ORDER

2   14-05-2026               Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                             2. The accused-petitioner, named in the F.I.R., is

                   apprehending his arrest in connection with Rajapakar

                   (Baranti O.P.) P.S. Case No. 272 of 2023 registered for the

                   offences punishable under Sections 498(A), 323, 504/34 of

                   the Indian Penal Code.

                             3. The allegation against petitioner is to commit

                   mental and physical cruelty upon the informant along with

                   his family members as the informant failed to fulfill the

                   demand of dowry.

                             4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33754 of 2026(2) dt.14-05-2026
                                            2/3




          petitioner submitted that in fact this petitioner being

          husband himself is the victim of this case only for the

          reason that the main dispute is between informant and the

          mother of the petitioner with regard to monetary dispute,

          which can be safely gathered from the face of FIR itself.

                   5.     It is submitted that the informant left her

          matrimonial home on her own and joined her parental home

          along with her children. It is submitted that petitioner

          implicated with the present case only for the reason that he

          is the husband and also the son of co-accused Manju Devi

          against whom the thrust of allegation is available. Petitioner

          claimed clean antecedent.

                   6. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer

          for anticipatory bail of the petitioners.

                   7. In view of the aforesaid factual submissions and

          by taking note of the fact as the thrust of allegation qua

          physical assault and financial dispute is available with co-

          accused Manju Devi, where implication of this petitioner

          prima facie appears available only for the reason that he is

          the son of co-accused Manju Devi and husband of the

          informant, accordingly, above-named petitioner, in the
           Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33754 of 2026(2) dt.14-05-2026
                                                       3/3




                     event of his arrest/surrender within a period of four weeks

                     from this order, is directed to be enlarged on bail on

                     furnishing of bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand only)

                     with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction

                     of learned Judicial Magistrate - 1st Class, Vaishali at
