                                2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection

                   with Paroo P.S. No. 240 of 2025, dated 11.05.2025, registered

                                3. The prosecution case in brief is that the marriage of

                   the informant was solemnized with the petitioner on 10.03.2016.

                   After marriage the accused persons demanded dowry of Rs. 5

                   lakh for doing business and bullet motorcycle. Due to non

                   fulfillment of the demand, the accused persons always abused

          husband solemnized 2nd marriage.

          petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged

          and he has falsely been implicated in this case. However,

          without prejudice to the right and contention of the petitioner,

          and in order to maintain harmony in the family, the petitioner is

          ready and willing to pay a sum of Rs. 5,000/- per month to the

          Opposite Party No. 2 as living cost, subject to the final outcome

          of the present case as well as the matrimonial case, if any,

          pending and/or decided between the parties.

                       5. Learned Counsel for the complainant-Opposite

          Party No. 2 accepts the offer so made by learned Counsel for the

          petitioner and submits that O.P. No. 2 is at the verge of

          starvation and the petitioner may be directed to deposit the said

          amount of Rs. 4,000/- per month in the bank account of the

          complainant-Opposite Party No. 2, details of which shall be

          furnished by learned Counsel for the Opposite Party No. 2 to

          learned Counsel for the petitioner within ten days from today.

                       6. After having heard learned Counsel for the parties

          and taking into consideration the materials on record and the

          fact that the offer made by learned Counsel for the petitioner has

                     been accepted by learned Counsel for the Opposite Party No. 2,

                     I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory
