This is second attempt made by the petitioner for getting anticipatory bail in a criminal prosecution registered under sections 498 A and 323 of the Indian penal Code. Prayer for anticipatory bail made on behalf of the petitioner was earlier rejected by an order dated 21.04.2010 passed in Cr. Misc.No. 42343of 2009(Annexure-1) on the ground that despite opportunity given to the petitioner the compromise could not be arrived at between the parties either for restoration of matrimonial relationship or for one time settlement of dispute. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that now the matter has been compromised between the parties. After the aforesaid order dated 21.04.2010 a joint compromise petition has been filed in the court on 22.5.2010. Be that as it may, for the reasons recorded in the previous order dated 21.04.2010, this court is not inclined to accede to the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail. It is accordingly rejected. However, in view of statement made by the petitioner about compromise having been arrived at between the petitioner and the complainant, the petitioner would be well advised to appear in the court below within a period of four weeks from today 2 along with the complainant and if the court below, after recording the statement of the complainant is satisfied about the genuineness of the compromise then in that case prayer for regular bail of the petitioner may be considered favourably and if possible disposed of on the same day. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the present application stands disposed of. Let this order be communicated through fax at the cost of the petitioner.
