Keeping in view the fact that the matter has been settled PANKAJ KUMAR 2020.01.22 17:48 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRM-M No.37684 of 2019 -2between the parties by way of marriage having been performed by them and the trial is likely to take some time to conclude, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the petitioner behind the bars. The instant petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on regular bail on execution of adequate personal bond and surety bond to the satisfaction of concerned trial Court/Duty Magistrate, however, with the condition that in case the petitioner abandons the complainant, she would be at liberty to move an appropriate application for having this order recalled.
