there was no demand of dowry. It was further submitted that the

opposite party no. 2 had left the matrimonial home. It has further

been stated in the petition that the petitioner is ready to settle the

matrimonial dispute. Earlier, notice was issued to the Opposite

Party No. 2, but despite her father receiving the same, nobody

appeared on her behalf when the matter was taken up and heard.

5. Learned A.P.P. submitted that the petitioner, who is

the husband of the Opposite Party No. 2, is alleged to have

kidnapped and married the younger sister of the Opposite Party

No. 2, which itself shows his character. It was further submitted

that nowhere in the entire petition, such fact has been denied by

the petitioner.

6. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the

case and submissions of learned counsel for the parties, the Court

is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail.

7. The application, accordingly, stands dismissed.
