In the meanwhile, she was blessed with two children too. In this case, considering the fact that the informant was willing to save her marital life, this Court wanted a chance to be given to the petitioner through the process of mediation to resolve the issue and take back the informant along with the children with dignity. The said order was passed on 27.7.2022 in which he was also granted provisional bail for six weeks to resolve the said issue. The report was submitted by the Mediator, according to which, the process of mediation took place but it failed.

The aforesaid fact endorses the allegation made by the informant in the FIR.

In view of the aforesaid facts, the provisional bail granted to the petitioner vide order dated 28.7.2022 is hereby recalled and the present bail application is hereby rejected. The petitioner will forthwith surrender before the learned Trial Court failing which it shall take step for his immediate arrest.

The Trial Court is further directed to expedite the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18669 of 2022(3) dt.19-09-2022 3/3 trial and conclude the same preferably within a period of nine months.
