Apprehending his arrest in connection with Ramgarh P.S. Case No.243 of 2019 instituted under Sections 323, 506 and 498-A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned counsel for the opposite party No.2 jointly submit that both the petitioner and opposite party No.2 are ready and willing to resume their conjugal life. It is agreed to between the parties that both the petitioner and opposite party No.2 will appear before the trial court on 23.08.2021 and on that date the petitioner will take the opposite party No.2 to his house with an undertaking that he will keep and maintain her with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that because of marital discord between the parties, this case was instituted by the opposite party No.2 against the petitioner. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to co-operate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail.
