It is alleged that the petitioner at the instance of his family members started demanding dowry and on 13.03.2024 attempted to kill her but anyhow she saved her life and fled away from her matrimonial home. Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.69363 of 2025(4) dt.01-04-2026 2/3 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case inasmuch as he has not committed any offence in the manner alleged. He further submits that from perusal of the F.I.R. it is apparent that allegation made against the petitioner is general and omnibus in nature. He next submits that informant is an arrogant lady and did not co-operate in daily chores of domestic work and used to very oftenly visit her ‘maika’ without consent of the petitioner. 5. Learned counsel next submits that the matter was sent for mediation by this Court vide order dated 17.01.2026 and final mediation report is on record (flag- ‘M’). From perusal of the same it appears that both husband and wife arrived at amicable settlement and have jointly signed the agreement containing terms and conditions of compromise on 25.03.2026. 6. Learned counsel for O.P. No. 2 supports the argument of learned counsel for the petitioner regarding amicable settlement arrived at between the parties through the process of mediation. 7. Considering the fact that the matter has been compromised and both husband and wife has arrived at amicable settlement before the learned Mediator and mediation report has been submitted by the Mediator having the terms and conditions of compromise, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.69363 of 2025(4) dt.01-04-2026 3/3 anticipatory bail subject to the condition that the parties shall abide by the terms and conditions entered into between them before the learned Mediator mentioned in the mediation report dated 25.03.2026. 8.
