It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the present complaint has been filed for ulterior purposes. As a matter of fact, the marriage between the petitioner and the complainant took place about 20 years back. However, some differences cropped up, for which a Panchayati, as contained in Annexure 2, was held and the matter was compromised. The complainant had expressed her desire to live with the petitioner. Later on, she did not enter into the compromise. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner has also filed a petition for restitution of conjugal rights. Notwithstanding the above, it is submitted that the petitioner is ready to keep the complainant as a legally wedded wife with dignity. 2 Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, let the petitioner above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender in connection with Complaint Case No.256 of 2008 within a period of four weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Jehanabad, in connection with the aforesaid case, on the conditions mentioned in sub-section (2) of section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It goes without saying that in case the petitioner backs out his promises in keeping the complainant properly as per the status of the family, it will be open for the complainant to file an application for cancellation of bail of the petitioner on appropriate ground.
