The basic accusation is of torture for nonfulfilment of dowry demand and getting the pregnancy terminated.

On the joint prayer of the parties, the matter was referred to the Mediation Centre of the State Legal Services Authority. The report of the Mediator at Flag-A reflects that the matter could not be resolved through the process of mediation. Though, now the petitioner denies the factum of marriage with the informant, but in paragraph 5 of the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.44063 of 2015 (3) dt.04-12-2015 2/2 petition, it has been stated that petitioner and informant are co-villagers but they were in love and subsequently they performed marriage.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the informant that informant is ready to resume the conjugal life but petitioner is not ready to accept the offer of the informant. In the circumstance, let learned Court below consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner, if the petitioner surrenders within a period of six weeks in connection with Supaul(Mahila) P.S. Case No. 53 of 2015, pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Supaul. Accordingly the application stands disposed of.
