…….Opposite Parties
05/- 02-11-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Additional
Public Prosecutor for the State.
Petitioner is named accused in this complaint case being
husband of the complainant with whom he was married on 28th May,
2001. The couple is issueless and as appears from Annexure- 2, there
was a village Talaknama prepared on 31.03.2007. In spite of this as it
appears on behalf of the petitioner, it was submitted that he was ready
and willing to resume and continue the marital life with the
complainant. Consequently she was made opposite party no. 2 and
notices were issued, but none turned-up. From the order of learned
Sessions Judge, it appears that without any notice to the complainant
order may be passed.
Considering the facts and circumstances on the event of
filing a proof of an application before Family Court under Section 9 of
the Hindu Marriage Act seeking restitution of conjugal rights and also
making an offer to pay a sum of Rs. 500/- per month by way of ad
interim maintenance, subject to any order on the point by the
competent court and begin with payment, in the event of his
arrest/surrender before the court below within four weeks of receipt of

the copy of this order, petitioner, namely, Harikesh Sah, is directed to
be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten
thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the
satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Gopalganj in
connection with Trial No. 1640 of 2010 arising out of Complaint Case
No. 882 of 2007, subject to condition laid down under Section 438 (2)
of the Criminal Procedure Code with additional condition to remain
physically present before the court below till disposal of the case, in
case of failure on two consecutive dates and on single default in
payment, the liberty shall be deemed to be cancelled.
