Case brief
What is this about?
Sonu Ali v. The State of Bihar & Chandtara Khatoon | Patna HC CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS No.10572 of 2025 | decided 18-07-2025 | Judge: Rajiv Roy | anticipatory bail rejected | IPC Ss. 406, 498(A) | Complaint Case No. 482 of 2022, Trial No. 3892 of 2022, PS Case No. 482/2022, Siwan | matrimonial cruelty / assault for want of motorcycle / wife ousted with minor child | mediation referral 12.05.2025 failed (both sides absent) | petitioner told to seek bail.
What did the court decide?
Taking into account the allegation that the petitioner thrashed the complainant in an inebriated state for want of a motorcycle and that she was ultimately forced to leave the marital home alongwith her minor child, the Court considered it appropriate that he seek bail rather than receive pre-arrest protection. ¶¶21
