Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petition under

Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 has since been filed by the

petitioner and the complainant. A sum of `11,00,000/- out of the total settled

amount of `21,50,000/- has been handed over to the complainant. It is submitted

that the petitioner undertakes to abide by the terms and conditions of the

settlement arrived at between the parties and hand over the balance of the settled

amount to the complainant in terms of the abovesaid settlement. It is further

submitted that the petitioner has joined investigation and he undertakes to face

the proceedings and not misuse the concession of anticipatory bail, if afforded to

him. Therefore, it is prayed that this petition be allowed.

Learned counsel for the complainant verifies the abovesaid factual

position and submits that in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties,

the complainant has no objection in case this petition is allowed.

Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI Gurmeet

Singh, verifies that the petitioner has joined investigation and is not involved in

any other criminal case. 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 settlement 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 12.02.2018 is made absolute.

However, liberty is afforded to the complainant to move an

appropriate application in case the terms and conditions of the settlement arrived

at between the parties are not carried out by the petitioner.
