1. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant and
learned counsel for the respondent-State of Bihar.
2. Leave granted.
3. Appellant has preferred this Criminal Appeal against
the impugned order dated 03.11.2025 passed by the High
Court of Patna (briefly the ‘High Court’ hereinafter),
rejecting his application for anticipatory bail.
4. It is stated that appellant is apprehending his
arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.747C of 2022
registered under Sections 498A and 323 of the Indian Penal
Code, 1860 (in short ‘IPC’) read with Sections 3/4 of the
Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. On the ground that appellant
was declared as a proclaimed offender, the prayer for
anticipatory bail was turned down by the High Court.
Reason: 5. From the Record of Proceedings before this Court, we
find that appellant had assailed the order whereby he was
declared as a proclaimed offender before the High Court.
Finally, by the order dated 24.04.2026, the High Court had
set aside the order declaring the appellant as a
proclaimed offender.
