The petitioner is accused in connection with Complaint Case No. 721 C of 2009 in which cognizance has been taken under sections 323, 498 (A), 406 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The complaint filed by the wife of the petitioner discloses instances of the atrocities for dowry in the shape of money as well as other materials. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegations are general and omnibus in nature being far away from the truth. He categorically states that he is ready to keep the complainant with him but it is the complainant who is avoiding going with him on some pretext or the other. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that he shall not only take his wife to her matrimonial home but shall also ensure that she lives a life of dignity and security and shall in no way be harassed either 2 mentally or physically. In view of the categorical statement on behalf of petitioner as well as the fact that as per the complaint petition itself it is evident that the complainant does not want to terminate the relationship and is rather willing to continue with the marriage, this Court feels inclined to create a conducive atmosphere so that any reconciliation, if possible, can take place. Let the petitioner appear before the Court concerned on 08.11.2011 when the Court shall fix a date for the appearance of the complainant and after recording their statements shall take a detailed bond/undertaking from the petitioner with regard to the safety and well being of the complainant and shall keep monitoring the case at least once in two months when both of them shall be required to be physically present before the Court concerned, where their statements shall be recorded. The petitioner shall not be arrested till 08.11.2011 in connection with Complaint Case No. 721 C of 2009, pending in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda, on which date the Court below shall grant provisional bail to him till the next date fixed for appearance of the complainant. The said provisional bail shall be confirmed when both the complainant and the petitioner go together to the house of the petitioner. It would be open to the complainant to file any petition before the Court below with regard to any complain against the petitioner or his family 3 members or any breach of terms of the said undertaking. The Court thereupon shall take proper notice of the same and if deemed proper shall also cancel the bail bond and take the petitioner into custody. With the aforesaid directions, this application stands disposed off. Safik (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
