On the strength of such facts, it has been submitted that the opposite party no.2 is neither interested to take part in the proceeding nor is interested in staying with the petitioner.

5. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 submits that on account of some communication gap, she could not participate in the mediation proceedings. He further submits that as she has suffered injury at the hands of the petitioner, she is not agreeable to live with him.

6. At this stage, the petitioner offers to give Rs.1500/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand) per month to the opposite party no.2 in the first week of every month. It goes without saying that the aforesaid payment shall be subject to any order passed in matrimonial maintenance case or any other collateral proceedings.

7. In such view of the matter, let the above named petitioner, be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount
