Petitioner's counsel submits that the petitioner is

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7697 of 2020(2) dt.24-07-2020 2/2 willing to keep the complainant with full honour and dignity. Without going into the merits of the matter, this Court would direct the petitioner to surrender before the Court below within eight weeks from today.

In the event, the petitioner surrenders, the Court below shall enlarge the petitioner on provisional bail, to its own satisfaction, for a period of three months.

The petitioner and the complainant would have the opportunity to work out an amicable resolution of the issue. If an amicable resolution is worked out within the three months' period, petitioner would be entitled to confirmation of his provisional bail.

If, on the other hand, the issue is not resolved between the parties, the Court below, needless to say, would be well within its jurisdiction to exercise its judicial discretion and pass appropriate order which may include cancellation of the petitioner's provisional bail.

This application stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
