The case is under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Earlier petitioner was allowed provisional bail to make an attempt to settle the dispute with the Complainant and lead a peaceful married life. However, it appears that it has failed and there is no chance of compromise in the matter. Learned counsel for the petitioner upon instructions submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by any condition which may be put by this Court for release of the petitioner on bail. Considering the above facts and circumstances, the application for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Let petitioner above named be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Bhagalpur, in connection with Complaint Case No. 2308 of 2006 with the condition that he will pay Rs. 500/- 2 per month to the Complainant as maintenance from December, 2009 onwards till he gets the alleged marriage annulled by a competent court of law or gets a declaration that there was no marriage. The petitioner will deposit Rs. 500/- per month in the court concerned where the case is pending or will be transferred, by 15th of every month which the Complainant shall be at liberty to withdraw. In case Petitioner defaults in deposit of the said amount, the court concerned shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioner and take steps for his arrest. The court concerned shall make all endeavours to decide the case at an early date. S.Ali (J.N. Singh, J.)
