In view of earlier order the prayer for anticipatory bail is again rejected. However, the observation is modified and liberty is granted to the petitioner that he may approach the court below with a prayer to order for appearance of his wife on the day of surrender and in case on the date of surrender the parties are able to compromise then as per earlier observation petitioner shall be allowed bail on the - 2 - Naresh date of surrender itself. This exercise as indicated above must be completed by the petitioner by taking the required steps within a period of ten weeks from today, failing which the aforesaid observation shall stand withdrawn and petitioner shall be treated to be an absconder against whom action should be taken in accordance with law.
