Mr. Radha Mohan Singh, Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 17-09-2021 Heard Mr. Anant Kumar Bhaskar, learned Advocate for the petitioner and Mr. Radha Mohan Singh for the informant/opposite party no. 2. The State is represented by Mr. Shailendra Kumar, learned APP. The petitioner, who is the husband of opposite party no. 2, seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Taraiya P.S. Case No. 17 of 2020 dated 18.01.2020 instituted for the offences under Section 498(A) of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.
Without delving into the nature of accusation, learned counsel for the petitioner at the outset has submitted that forgetting the past, he now is ready and
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.5129 of 2021(2) dt.17-09-2021 2/3 willing to enter into negotiations with his wife for restitution of conjugal rights or for any other alternative settlement whichever is agreeable to the opposite party no. 2.
Learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 however has apprised this Court that because of the refusal of the petitioner to keep opposite party no. 2 as his legally wedded wife in his house, his prayer for anticipatory bail was rejected by the court below. However, considering the fact that the petitioner, now, wants to amend his behaviour and is desirous of settling the matrimonial dispute with opposite party no. 2, this Court deems it appropriate that in the event of the petitioner surrendering before the court below within a period of eight weeks, he shall be released on provisional bail and simultaneously notice shall be issued to the informant/opposite party no. 2. On the appearance of the informant/opposite party no.
2, the court will explore the possibilities of settlement and if the issues between the spouses are settled, the provisional bail of the petitioner shall be confirmed. The provisional bail of the petitioner shall also be confirmed in the event of the informant/opposite party no. 2 showing an unreasonable attitude during the deliberations.
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.5129 of 2021(2) dt.17-09-2021 3/3 good, that should also be taken into account before confirming the provisional bail of the petitioner. The petition stands disposed of.
