1. The learned counsel for the petitioner has furnished the schedule of payment of Rs.5,50,000/- in terms of the order dated 30.5.2011.

2. The learned counsel for the complainant has stated that both the schedule as well as the quantum of amount is not acceptable to him.

3. On 30.5.2011, it was specifically noted from the side of the complainant that she will be satisfied in case the petitioner gives 2011:DHC:7003 up a lump sum of Rs.5,50,000/- towards full and final settlement of the entire claim by way of permanent alimony, stridhan, etc.

4. Today, the complainant and her counsel have retracted their statements. In the light of the aforesaid facts, the application needs to be decided on its own merits.

5. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned APP as well as learned counsel for the complainant.

6. Having regard to the facts of the case, I feel that it is a fit case where the petitioner deserves to be enlarged on anticipatoiy bail. Accordingly, the petitioner in the event of his arrest shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety for the like to the satisfaction of the lO/SHO. The petitioner shall join investigation and he shall not tamper with the evidence or threaten the complainant and shall not leave the NCT of Delhi without the permission of the Trial Court/Ilaka Magistrate. This benefit of anticipatory bail shall be valid till the time the charge is filed.
