Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is husband of informant and, as a matter of fact, informant is second wife of the petitioner but the petitioner still wants to keep her with full honour and dignity. It is contended by him that, as a matter of fact, informant has lodged this false case at the instigation of enemies of the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid submissions, petitioner, namely, Anirudh Yadav, is directed to be released on provisional bail for a period of four months from the date of receipt or production of a copy of this order in the court below in connection with Shankarpur P.S. Case No. 46 of 2011 on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Madhepura. It is made clear that after release of the petitioner from judicial custody, the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Madhepura/ Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.6231 of 2012 (2) dt.16-02-2012 concerned court shall issue notice to the petitioner as well as informant fixing a date for reconciliation and shall explore the possibility to patch up the dispute of the parties and in the above stated attempt, if he succeeds to patch up the dispute of the parties, he shall pass order for confirmation of bail of the petitioner but if he fails due to rigid approach of the petitioner, then, in that event, provisional bail of the petitioner will not be confirmed by the court below. It goes without saying that if the aforesaid effort fails on account of rigid and non-cooperative approach of the informant, the provisional bail of the petitioner shall be confirmed by the court below itself. It is also made clear that if the concerned court fails in his attempt within the above stated period of four months, the concerned court shall make a report to this court about development taken place in course of reconciliation and after receipt of the report of learned court below, the matter shall be listed before the court under appropriate heading.
