The Delhi High court has rejected the anticipatory bail plea of a man on his wife's complaint that she was physically assaulted by her husband for not covering her face in the presence of his elder brother.
The woman also alleged her husband Virender Pal and in-laws have been demanding a car and Rs two lakh from her parents.
While rejecting the bail plea of Virender, Justice R V Eswar referred to the high court's previous order which dismissed his bail plea in April this year on the ground that the allegations against him by his wife are "serious" in nature and the MLC (medico-legal case) conducted had showed assault on the woman.
"Taking into consideration, the above circumstances and the fact that this court has already rejected the bail application of the applicant and keeping in view the fact that there is no change in the circumstances, I see no reason for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant. This application is, accordingly, rejected," Justice Easwar said.
