Obviously the marriage has gone sour based on the fall out of the relationship. Allegations have been made against other family members including the present petitioner.

Keeping in mind the submission made above, the Court can only hope that better sense will prevail upon the petitioner. He has long life ahead of him and whatever be the reasons for the misgiving of his wife which led to the filing of the present case, should be sorted out between the husband and wife and may be by intervention of the well wishers and elders of either of the family. The Court is willing to give opportunity to the petitioner in this regard. Let the petitioner namely, Prayag Prajapati, in 2 the event of arrest or surrender within four weeks in the court below, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Aurangabad, in Complaint Case No. 685 of 2008 (T R No. 2128 of 2008), subject to the conditions as laid down under section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
