¶17

demanded a Scorpio car and Rs. 3 lakh as additional dowry. Although the vidai proceeded after the intervention of community members, O.P. No. 2 was later subjected to physical and mental torture for not fulfilling the demand. Petitioner allegedly insulted her appearance and claimed he preferred his sister-in-law. On 28.04.2024 at 10 PM, it is alleged that petitioner and his relatives attempted to burn her by pouring kerosene on her. She managed to save herself and was expelled from her matrimonial home, with her belongings taken away.

¶18

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and he has falsely been implicated in this case. However, without prejudice to the right and contention of the petitioner, and in order to maintain harmony in the family, the petitioner is ready and willing to pay a sum of Rs. 3,000/- per month to the Opposite Party No. 2 as living cost, subject to the final outcome of the present case as well as the matrimonial case, if any, pending and/or decided between the parties.

¶23

After having heard learned Counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the materials on record and the fact that the offer made by learned Counsel for the petitioner has been accepted by learned Counsel for the Opposite Party No. 2, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.
