OPD Slip dated 26.10.2022 issued by Government Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, is taken on record as Annexure P-10. CRM-M-13508-2022 5. Instant petition has been filed under Section 439, Cr.P.C., for grant of regular bail in FIR No.11 dated 05.03.2021, registered for offences under Sections 406, 498-A, 448, IPC, however, Section 201, IPC, was added, later on, at Police Station Women, Patiala, District Patiala, Annexure P-1. 6. Counsel for the petitioner has contended that FIR is an outcome of a matrimonial dispute and the petitioner-husband is in custody since 23.02.2022. He submits that although besides allegations of entrustment of dowry articles, harassment and cruelty, petitioner is alleged to have trespassed the complainant's house, but she has already taken back its possession. He submits that marriage has been dissolved by ex-parte judgment and decree dated 02.07.2022, Annexure P-9. It is his argument that on conclusion of investigation, challan has been presented and charge has been framed, therefore, the petitioner deserves to be released on bail. Reference has been made to OPD slip, Annexure P-10, to urge that petitioner's middle aged mother requires immediate medical attention. 7. Per contra, State counsel, upon instructions from HC, Sanjeev Kumar, submits that out of 34 prosecution witnesses, none has been examined. He is assisted by counsel for the complainant. 8. I have considered the submissions made. 9. This court is of the view that a liberal approach has to be adopted while considering petitions seeking post-arrest bail in matrimonial matters arising out of proceedings initiated under Section 406 and 498-A, IPC. In such matters, most of the times, trivial disputes are either blown out of proportion or the allegations levelled appear far from truth. It has been observed that majority of these discords end up in a settlement and keeping a spouse or a relative in detention for months together aggravates the bitterness and creates hurdles in bringing about an amicable compromise. 10.
