Rs.5,000/- as monthly maintenance in the bank account of the defacto complainant. The liability of the first petitioner will commence from the next month onwards.

The petitioners shall appear before the concerned Magistrate within a period of 15 days from the date on which the order copy made ready, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed.
