IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.47997 of 2007 ***** 1. Athar Imam @ Md.Athar Imam 2. Basar Imam, Both son of Nur Mohamad, resident of Mohalla-Malkana, P.S. Masaurhi, District-Patna. …. …. Petitioners Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Nasreen Bano, D/o Abdul Rub Ansarai, resident of village- Kanu Bigha, P.S. Belaganj, District-Gaya. …. …. Complainant/opposite party ----------- 4. 21.4.2009. Based on order dated 17.2.2009 the petitioners and opposite party no.2 appeared before the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate on 18.3.2009. They have also filed their affidavit and I am informed at the Bar that opposite party no.2 is now been escorted to her matrimonial home by the husband and they are living together. This according to the petitioner is a good sign that an effort is on now to reconcile the differences between the parties. Learned counsel representing opposite party no.2 does not dispute the above statement but submissions that as a legitimate wife she also has expectations and would like the husband to at least take her to his place of employment and also may be give her an opportunity to live with him by herself. Such an expectation is not a misplaced expectation which every wife expects from her husband. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioners specially the husband is that he is in private employment earning a small sum of Rs.2,500/- a month and that is coming in the way of maintaining two establishments and there is no other reason why he is not taking his wife to Kashmir. - 2 - The Court expects that husband will take his wife at least to his work place for a visit once, show the working conditions and let her decide as to what shall be the final matrimonial home for them. In the totality of the situation no purpose will be served by continuing the criminal proceeding in the matter which will only create disharmony in the relationship. The order taking cognizance and further proceedings arising out of Complaint Case No. 537/05 relating to T.R. No. 1074 of 2006 pending in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya stands quashed. The application is allowed. Before parting the Court records that the Court has absolved the petitioner of the liability only on his undertaking of a good conduct in future as well.
