8. Learned counsel for the informant submits that he will provide the bank account number of the complainant on the WhatsApp of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to forward the same to the petitioner so that the monthly maintenance, as agreed, starts getting credited in the account of the complainant from 07.08.2023.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 5,000/- (Rupees
