Case No. 182 of 2024, registered for the offences punishable under sections 498(A) of IPC and Sections 3 & 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, pending in the court of learned J.M., Ranchi. Heard the parties and had gone through the documents, annexed along with this application. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is absolutely innocent and after three months of the occurrence, a false case has been lodged against the petitioner. Counsel for the State after taking instructions submits that thrice notices under Sections 41A Cr.P.C have been issued but the petitioner did not choose to appear before the Investigating Officer. Considering the submission of the State and the fact that notices have been issued under Section 41A Cr.P.C, which the petitioner did not comply with, which is admitted by the petitioner, I am not inclined to allow this anticipatory bail application as the petitioner has not cooperated with the investigation. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner, above named, is rejected. Anu/-C.P.-3 (ANANDA SEN, J.)
