IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No. 35446 of 2008 YASHWANT JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR --------- 07. 16.09.2009. Petitioner was released by this Court on provisional bail under orders dated 16.10.2008 passed in the instant application, whereafter the provisional bail has been extended from time to time so as to ensure resolution of the matrimonial dispute between the petitioner and opposite party No.2 through the aegis of the mediator, who submitted report dated 25.6.2009, Flag-X, wherefrom it appears that the nature of impasse is such that it cannot be broken by the mediator in spite of serious efforts. In the circumstances, I confirm the provisional bail allowed to the petitioner as he has already remained in jail custody for over six months. Learned counsel for the petitioner has undertaken that he will not oppose the petition for setting aside the ex parte judgment dated 1.4.2009 passed in HMA No. 1808 of 2006. Rajesh/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
