2 22.04.2011 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and

the State.

The petitioner being the husband is

apprehending his arrest in a complaint case in which

cognizance has been taken under Sections 323, 399 and

498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the

Dowry Prohibition Act.

The petitioner is ready to keep the

complainant as wife with full dignity and honour.

It appears that the petitioner has earlier filed

a restitution case in which complainant appeared but

she was not ready to resume the conjugal life. The

petitioner is still ready to keep the complainant as wife

with full dignity and honour.

Considering the aforesaid facts, let the above

named petitioner, be released on provisional

anticipatory bail for six months, in the event of his

arrest or surrender before the learned Court below

within a period of 12 weeks from today, on furnishing
2

bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two

sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of

the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nawada in

connection with Complaint Case No. 989/2009,

subject to the conditions as laid down under Section

438(2) Cr.P.C.

Let the learned court below issue notice to

the complainant and on her appearance, the petitioner

will take back the complainant to her matrimonial

house to keep her as wife with full dignity and honour.

The provisional bail of the petitioner will be

confirmed in two eventualities (i) if the matrimonial

harmony is substantially restored or (ii) if the

complainant deliberately refuses to reside with the

petitioner.
