IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.46503 of 2008 RAJU SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 15.01.2009 Heard Sri Amarendra Kumar Singh, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri Dasrath Mehta, APP for the State. Considering the allegation and its seriousness, the court is not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner on bail. The petition is dismissed. However, if the petitioner files a petition before the court below expressing an intent of reconciling himself with his wife and to his married situation then the court below could issue a notice to the lady through the Officer-in-Charge of Barun Police Station fixing a date for her appearance. On which date the petitioner shall also be produced before the court below. On appearance of the parties the court below shall sit with them in its chamber and talk to them in detail freely identifying the reasons as to why the spouses are at logger heads. The court below make a record of its assessment of the situation by drawing up an order and attempt to untie the knouts appearing in the relationship and encouraging both of them by talking jointly and separately to each of the parties for settlement. In case there is a reconciliation between the parties and the parties decided to - 2 - unite again as spouses and in case the petitioner takes back the lady without any conditions or in case the lady appears taking a very difficult stand or putting up stiff and unreasonable conditions, which could not acceptable to a reasonable person, in that case the petitioner could be admitted to bail on execution of a bond to its own satisfaction. In case the parties reconcile and start living together the court shall call them every two months into its chamber for talking to the lady and the petitioner separately, so as to assessing as the cementing of the relationship and even in that course if it thinks that there was any crease in the relationship, it will attempt to iron them out by impressing upon the spouses. That they need to live together, being married to each other. I could indicate to the court below that if it makes the effort utilizing his good offices and also such experience in life logically and reasonably, then it could find that the relationship is brought back in the right tracks and that could be giving immense pleasure to the Presiding Officer.
