The petitioners seek the concession of pre-arrest bail in the FIR lodged at the instance of Kamaljit Kaur alleging that she had been maltreated and her dowry articles had been misappropriated. During the pendency of this petition, the matters seems to have been amicably settled.

A copy of the compromise, entered into between the parties before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre, has been placed on record. In view of the above circumstances, this petition is allowed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioners, they will be released on anticipatory bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the Cr.Misc.

It is made clear that in case the conditions of the compromise are not complied with, it will be open to the complainant to seek cancellation of pre-arrest bail. A bank draft of Rs.50,000/- has been handed over to the counsel for the complainant. July 26 , 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
