Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Gulshan
submits that vide order dated 01.08.2018, the matter was referred to the
Mediation and Conciliation Centre of this Court and as per the report
received from the Mediation and Conciliation Centre, the parties could not
reach at an amicable settlement. He further submits that though the
petitioner has joined the investigation but recovery of certain articles is still
required to be effected from him.
At the same time, counsel for the petitioner has pointed out
that the complainant along with other family members has taken away the
dowry articles in the absence of the petitioner.
Be that as it may, without commenting upon the merits of the
case as to whether the dowry articles have been taken away by the family
members or not, but considering the fact that the petitioner has joined the
investigation, the present petition is allowed and the interim order dated
04.12.2017 is made absolute.
However, the petitioner shall join the investigation as and
when directed by the investigating agency and shall abide by the terms and
conditions laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
