Copy of the statement of Hem Lata-wife dated 13.1.2021 has been sent through e-mail, which is taken on record.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. In the present case, the dispute was between the husbandpetitioner and the wife-complainant and now a compromise has been effected between them. The petitioner has been in custody since 28.10.2020. The trial will take time to conclude because of Covid-19 pandemic. No useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars. Without commenting anything on the merits of the case, the petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
