====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 01-04-2026 Heard learned counsel for the parties concerned.

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Siwan Mahila Police Station Case No. 08 of 2025, dated 15.02.2025, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 85, 109(1), 316(2), 352, 351(2) and 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, but the cognizance has been against the petitioner under Section 115(2) and 85 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

3. As per the prosecution case, the marriage of the informant was solemnized with the petitioner on 21.04.2025 as per Hindu rites and rituals. When she came at her matrimonial

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.81560 of 2025(4) dt.01-04-2026 2/3 home learnt that though her husband possessed degree of electrical engineer but he has no job and residing at home doing agriculture work. Thereafter all the accused persons started demanding a car and cash of Rs. 10 lakh and due to nonfulfillment of their demand, they tortured her in various manners and ultimately they ousted her from matrimonial home on 02.06.2024. On 12.02.2025 she again came at her matrimonial home but her in-laws assaulted her and anyhow she escaped from there and got treated.

4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case inasmuch as he has not committed any offence in the manner alleged. He further submits that the matter was sent for mediation by this Court vide order dated 11.02.2026 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 10.03.2026.

5. Learned counsel for the O.P. No. 2 supports the argument of learned counsel for the petitioner regarding amicable settlement arrived at between the parties through the process of mediation.

6. 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 mediation report dated 11.03.2026.

7. Accordingly, the prayer for bail allowed.

8. Let the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below within four weeks, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Siwan, in connection with Siwan Mahila Police Station Case No. 08 of 2025, subject to the condition laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
