4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that the petitioner now intends to settle the matrimonial dispute amicably outside the Court and seeks liberty to avail such remedy as may be available in law.

5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.

6. Having heard the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties and upon perusal of the materials available on record, considering the serious allegation of cruelty levelled against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on pre-arrest bail. However, considering the willingness of the petitioner to settle the dispute amicably outside the Court, the present application is disposed of with the aforesaid liberty.
