IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.14206 of 2011 Rakesh Kumar, S/o Shri Janardan Prasad Sharma. Versus The State of Bihar ------------ 06. 04.08.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Sections 498A/34, 406 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. By order dated 03.05.2011 this Court had taken note of the fact that the petitioner was ready to pay permanent alimony to his wife and therefore ordered that no coercive steps be taken against him. When this case was posted in Chambers on 03.08.2011 an effort was made to sort out the differences between the parties for which the case was adjourned for a day but unfortunately the matter has not been sorted out. The stand of the petitioner is that he does not want to keep his wife whereas the stand of the wife is that she wants to live with her husband. Since it is a catch-22 situation which can not be resolved by the Court, this Court is restraining itself from passing any remark on the attitude of the parties. However the Petitioner wishes to maintain his wife and child. It is therefore in the interest of justice that the petitioner makes a monetary contribution towards upkeep of his wife and child and for which reason the petitioner is directed to pay a sum of Rs. 2,500/- (Two Thousand Five Hundred) per month to his wife. 2 Let the petitioner, above named be released in the event of arrest or surrender before the learned Court below with a period four weeks from the date of receipt of the order on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 5,000/- (Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each or any other surety as fixed by the Court to the satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Danapur in connection with Complaint Case No. 535(C) of 2010 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure as also subject to the condition that one of the bailors will be a close relative of the petitioner who will give an affidavit giving genealogy as to how he is related with the petitioner. The bailor will also undertake to inform the Court if there is any change in the address of the petitioner. Since the petitioner volunteers to deposit Rs. 2,500/- (Two Thousand Five Hundred Rupees) per month in the court below he shall do so firstly within 15 days of release on bail and subsequently by 15th every month which the wife of the petitioner will be at liberty to withdraw without prejudice the right of the parties.
