I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Keeping in view the fact that the matter has been compromised between the main accused and the complainant and the amount of Rs.4 lakhs has already been reversed into the account of the complainant, this Court deems it appropriate to allow regular bail to the petitioner. The instant petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on regular bail on execution of adequate personal/surety bond to the satisfaction of concerned trial Court/Duty Magistrate. However, any observation made herein shall not be construed to be an expression on merits of the case.
