The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case under Section 498 A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The petitioner who is the husband submits that a divorce case was also filed by his wife which at present has been dismissed for default. There is allegation of demand against him. The Court below will call upon the parties and after considering whether they can settle their differences pass an order with respect to the bail application. During the pendency of the application in the Court below, it would be proper that the petitioner should be granted some interim relief so that both the parties can appear fearlessly before the Court. The anticipatory bail application however, is dismissed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
