                   petitioner, learned APP appearing on behalf of the State and

                   learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant/Opposite

                   Party No. 2.

                                2. The petitioner, husband of the informant,

                   apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offence

                   punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 85, 352 and 3(5) of

                   the B.N.S. and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

                                3. As per prosecution case, marriage of informant was

                   solemnized with this petitioner and thereafter, all the F.I.R.

                   accused persons, including this petitioner, started demanding

          dowry and due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry, the

          informant was subjected to cruelty and harassment.

                       4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

          petitioner submits that the petitioner is quite innocent and denies

          the allegations made in the F.I.R.. As a matter of fact, petitioner

          never committed torture with the informant or demanded any

          dowry. However, the petitioner undertakes to give Rs. 3,000/-

          (three thousand rupees) per month by way of temporary

          relief/solace, starting from this month, to the informant.

          Petitioner claims clean antecedents.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State and learned counsel

          appearing on behalf of the informant have vehemently opposed

          the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

                       6. In view of the undertaking of learned counsel for

          the petitioner that petitioner is ready to give temporary

          relief/solace of Rs. 3,000/- (three thousand rupees) per month

          to informant, in the event of arrest/surrender within a period of

          eight weeks from today, let the petitioner, above-named, be

          enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten

          thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the

          satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, West

                                    informant.
                                          (C.) In case, the petitioner fails to deposit the
                                    aforesaid amount for two consecutive months, the court
                                    below would be at liberty to cancel the bail bond.
                                          (D.) The aforementioned payment will be subject
                                    to any order passed in matrimonial, maintenance or
                                    connected proceedings. The present order, in no way,
                                    will preclude the parties to resolve the issue otherwise.”
