Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that petitioner has performed second marriage without getting divorce from the complainant, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and, as such, his application for bail is rejected.

However, if the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail within a period of six weeks, the same shall be considered by the court below, without being prejudiced by this order of rejection.
