Prayer in this petition is for grant of anticipatory bail to the

registered at Police Station Women Cell, Ludhiana.

It is submitted that during the pendency of this petition, the matter

Marriage Act, 1955 (for short – the ‘HMA’) has been filed. It is agreed that a

sum of `12.5 lakhs shall be handed over by the petitioner to respondent No.2 as

full and final settlement of all her claims – past, present and future qua the

petitioner. A sum of `4,00,000/- was handed over to her at the time of recording

of statements of the parties at first motion in proceedings under Section 13B of

the HMA. Today, a demand draft bearing No.164844 dated 17.11.2017

amounting to `4,00,000/- drawn on the State Bank of India, Agarnagar, Ludhiana

in favour of respondent No.2 has been handed over to learned counsel for

respondent No.2 for onward transmission to her in terms of the said settlement.

The petitioner undertakes to hand over the rest of the settled amount to

respondent No.2 at the time of recording of statements of the parties at second

motion in proceedings under Section 13B of the HMA. The petitioner, it is

submitted, has joined investigation. It is thus prayed that this petition be allowed.

Learned counsel for respondent No.2 verifies and affirms the factual

position as above. It is submitted that his client has no objection if this petition

is allowed subject to the petitioner strictly adhering to the terms and conditions

of the settlement arrived at between the parties.

Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI Ravinder

Kumar, verifies that the petitioner has joined investigation. There are no

allegations on behalf of the State that the petitioner is likely to abscond, if

released on bail.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances as above, specifically

the compromise arrived at between the parties, but without commenting upon or

expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed.

Consequently, order dated 11.07.2016 is made absolute.

However, liberty is afforded to respondent No.2 to file appropriate

application in this case, if the terms and conditions of settlement arrived at

between the parties are not adhered to by the petitioner.
