                   with Turkaudiya P.S. Case No. 42 of 2025, registered for the

                   offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 313, 498A/34 of the

                   Indian Penal Code read with Sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition

                   Act.

                                3. It is a case of matrimonial dispute.

                                4. Vide order dated 26.11.2025, the matter was referred

                   to the Mediation Center. The report of the learned Mediator shows

                   that the matter could not be resolved between the parties and

                   therefore, the mediation failed.

                                5. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted

                   that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in

                   this case. He has further submitted that the petitioner is ready to

                   pay the interim maintenance to the complainant but on query of

                     this Court, he expressed his inability to pay more than Rs. 3,000/-

                     per month to the complainant as he is a labourer.

                                  6. On the other hand, the learned counsel for O.P. No. 2

                     has opposed the prayer for bail.

                                  7.    Considering       the    above-mentioned   facts   and

                     circumstances, especially the fact that the petitioner is ready to pay

                     Rs. 3,000/- per month as interim maintenance to opposite party no.

                     2, let the petitioner, in the event of his arrest or surrender within

                     four weeks before the learned court below, be released on

                     anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten

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

                     satisfaction of learned CJM, Motihari, East Champaran in

                     connection with Turkaudiya P.S. Case No. 42 of 2025, subject to

                     the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.

                                  8. The petitioner is directed to pay Rs. 3,000/- per

                     month as interim maintenance to opposite party no. 2 (the

                     complainant). The interim maintenance will be subject to any

                     other order granted by any other Court of competent

                     jurisdiction granting maintenance to Opposite Party No. 2 (the

                     complainant).
