3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner, being husband, has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the opposite party no.2, on which the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the opposite party no.2 submits

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.66979 of 2025(5) dt.02-04-2026 2/3 that for non-fulfilment of dowry demand the opposite party no.2 was assaulted, abused and ousted from the house. It is also submitted that the case was taken up on 24.03.2026, when a specific submission was made on behalf of the opposite party no.2 that she is willing to restitute her conjugal rights, on which the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner based on submission has submitted that even petitioner is willing to keep the opposite party no.2 with honour and dignity and he will go and fetch the opposite party no.2 back to her parental home on 31.03.2026, but then, the petitioner despite giving assurance to this Court did not come to fetch the opposite party no.2 back to her matrimonial home, which amply demonstrates that petitioner does not intend to restitute his conjugal rights and only for the purposes of bail, a false submission was made.
