Mr.Md. Fahimuddin ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 09-10-2020 Heard Mr. Bal Govind Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Md. Fahimuddin, learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Tr. No. 3142 of 2019, arising out of Complaint Case No. C-50 of 2019, in which cognizance has been taken under Section 498 A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.

On 20.07.2020, this Court had directed for

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18977 of 2020(3) dt.09-10-2020 2/3 issuance of notice to Opposite Party No. 2 subject to the deposit of the requisites by the petitioner. The petitioner was granted provisional bail in the meanwhile. Today, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for some reason or the other, requisites for issuance of notice could not be filed by the petitioner. In that view of the matter, this Court disposes of this bail petition with a direction that in case the petitioner surrenders before the court below within a period of eight weeks from today and expresses his willingness to bring back the complainant / Opposite Party No. 2 to her matrimonial home, he shall be released on provisional bail. The Opposite Party No. 2 shall be noticed and on her appearance, the court below shall explore the possibility of settlement of the matrimonial dispute.

If the Opposite Party No. 2 is willing to go with the petitioner to join the matrimonial fold, the provisional bail of the petitioner shall be confirmed. If for

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18977 of 2020(3) dt.09-10-2020 3/3 no apparent / plausible reason, Opposite Party No. 2 refuses to join the matrimonial fold, that should also be taken into account by the Court while passing an order of confirmation of provisional bail.

With the aforesaid observation / direction, this petition stands disposed off.
