4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and he has falsely been implicated in this case.

However, without prejudice to the right and contention of the petitioner and in order to maintain harmony in the family, the petitioner undertakes to pay a sum of Rs. 5,000/- per month to the Opposite Party No. 2 as "living cost" subject to final outcome of the present case as well as matrimonial case and / or maintenance case filed and decided between the parties.
