IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35512 of 2010 SATENDRA MEHTAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2 16.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the state. Petitioner is husband of the informant and submission on his behalf is that he wants to keep the informant with full honour and dignity but informant wants to reside at her natal place which is situated at Madhubani town whereas the petitioner is resident of village-Siswar. It appears from perusal of the impugned order that no effort of reconciliation was taken up by learned Sessions Judge. In view of the aforesaid submissions as well as facts and circumstances of the case, this anticipatory bail petition is allowed. In the event of arrest/surrender within 30 days from receipt of the order, the petitioner, Satyendra Mehta shall be released on provisional bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Madhubani P.S. Case No. 140 of 2009 to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Madhubani subject to condition as laid down u/S 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Furthermore, if petitioner surrenders before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Madhubani in the 2 above said manner, the concerned court shall issue notice to the informant as well as petitioner fixing a date for the reconciliation and furthermore, above said court shall take all possible efforts to patch up the dispute of the parties and if he succeeds in his attempt, then in that event, the provisional bail granted to the petitioner by this court would be confirmed by the learned court below itself. Furthermore, it is made clear and if the above-said reconciliation fails on account of non-cooperation and rigid approach of the petitioner, then in that circumstance, the learned court below should not confirm the provisional bail of the petitioner. In the above said manner, this anticipatory bail petition stands disposed of. AKV/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
