The Delhi High Court has asked a man to purchase a house for his wife to live separately from her in-laws or be ready to go behind bars for not fulfilling a condition arrived at during mediation in the trial court.
Justice S N Dhingra asked the woman, who had filed a criminal complaint related to dowry harassment against her husband and in-laws, to find out a house, available at Rs 18 lakh, which would be bought by her husband.
The court, meanwhile, granted protection to the man by restraining the police from arresting him for 30 days – a period during which he would buy the house and start living with the woman.
"The applicant be not arrested for 30 days. In the meantime, the Investigating Officer/SHO shall approach the complainant (wife) who shall within one week locate the house which is available within Rs 18 lakh and the applicant shall purchase that house in the name of the complainant in terms of the compromise.
