Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.8096 of 2026(3) dt.24-06-2026 2/3 has failed as the petitioner has refused to make payment of rupees four lacs as demanded by the informant, however, as per the instruction, he is ready to pay rupees two lacs to the informant, which is denied by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant.

5. Considering the admitted relationship between the petitioner and the informant, I find that the matter can be resolved amicably between the parties outside the Court by way of mediation.

6. The learned District Court is directed to consider the case of the petitioner in light of the law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Naim Ahamed vs. State (NCT of Delhi) reported in (2023) 15 SCC 385 in view of the admitted relationship of the petitioner and informant.

11. In case of failure on part of the informant/complainant, the learned District Court is directed to make the provisional bail absolute, or it is, otherwise, on the part of the petitioner then the interim relief granted to the petitioner shall lose its force and the learned trial Court may proceed with trial in accordance with law.

12. The bail applications stand disposed of.
