As per the complaint parties were marred in the year 2005. Whereafter it is alleged that petitioner and family members started demanding dowry and ultimately through her out. On the other hand, as apparent from the order of the learned Sessions Judge, the petitioner had filed a matrimonial case for divorce on the ground of adultery as against his wife being Matrimonial Case No. 82 of 2007 and allegedly in retaliation thereto the present case has been filed. The complainant has appeared and expressed her willingness to reside with the petitioner and his family if she is kept with dignity. Petitioner, on the other hand also agrees to keep her with dignity provided she conduct - 2 - herself with dignity. In my view, there appears to be a mere discord in the family which will only aggravate if parties are put to terms in any manner. In the facts and circumstances stated above, let the petitioner namely Bindeshwar Singh, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, be released on Anticipatory 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, Jhanjarpur in connection with Complaint Case No. 915 of 2007 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.
