It is further made clear that after being released on provisional bail, the concerned court shall issue notice to the petitioner as well as the complainant, fixing a date for reconciliation and shall take all efforts to patch up the dispute of the parties within four months from the date of surrender of the petitioner.

It is also made clear that if, the concerned court succeeds in his attempt, the provisional bail granted to the petitioner shall be confirmed by the concerned court but if, the concerned court fails in his attempt due to rigid and noncooperative approach of the petitioner, the provisional bail granted to the petitioner shall not be confirmed by the concerned court and in that event, the petitioner shall be taken into custody and on his regular bail petition, the order shall be passed on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order.

It goes without saying that if, the reconciliation
