( 2 ) CRM-M-51495-2019 (O&M) home, the said Pardeep @ Pappu entered her house and tried to give currency note of denomination of `500/- to her forcibly and asked her to accompany him and caught hold of her arm and started misbehaving with her. When the complainant raised alarm her neighbour was attracted at the spot and rescued the victim.

4.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the FIR came to be lodged due to some misunderstanding which has now been resolved and the parties have entered into a compromise.

5.

The learned counsel representing the complainant has admitted the fact that the parties have entered into a compromise.

6.

The learned State counsel, on the other hand, has submitted that upon investigation the allegations were found to be prima facie substantiated and that challan has been filed.

7.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and while bearing in mind that the petitioner has been behind bars since the last about three months and challan already stands presented and the parties seem to have entered into some sort of compromise, further detention of the petitioner will not serve any useful purpose as conclusion of trial is likely to take some time. The petition, as such, is accepted and it is ordered that the petitioner be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, concerned.
