2. Today, the petitioner, defacto complainant, who is deaf and dumb and her mother viz., Shanmughasundari are present. There was a mediation held on 19.08.2016 and in pursuance of the mediation, agreement application under Section 13-B Hindu Marriage Act has been filed and consent divorce application has been filed on that day, which was admitted and permanent alimony has not been paid, so it was withdrawn and yet to be numbered. Thereafter, the petitioner/accused has come forward with this anticipatory bail.

3. Today, both the parties are present and the petitioner has given Demand Draft for Rs.2,00,000/-. After receiving the same,

the defacto complainant and her mother have no objection to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. Considering the rival submissions made by both sides and also considering the fact that the defacto complainant and her mother have no objection to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, with certain conditions.

5. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of his arrest or on his appearance before the learned [*]Judicial Magistrate -I, Poonamalli and on executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that the petitioner shall report before the Court concerned daily at 10.30 a.m. until further orders.
