He further submits that the matter was sent for mediation by this Court vide order dated 21.01.2026 and final mediation report is on record (flag-'M"). From perusal of the same it appears that both husband and wife arrived at amicable settlement and have jointly signed the agreement containing terms and conditions of compromise on 31.03.2026.

Considering the fact that the matter has been compromised and both husband and wife has arrived at amicable settlement before the learned Mediator and mediation report has been submitted by the learned Mediator having the terms and conditions of compromise, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail subject to the condition that the parties shall abide by the terms and conditions entered into between them before the learned Mediator mentioned in the
