Hon'ble Vedpal,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Government Advocate.
Under challenge is FIR relating to Case Crime No. 5856 of 2009, under Sections 498-A, 323, 504 & 506 IPC read with Section ¾ Dowry Prohibition Act, police station Kotwali, district Faizabad. We have gone through the contents of the FIR and other documents annexed hereto.
Since it is a matrimonial dispute and the allegations levelled against the petitioners seem to be trivial in nature, it has been submitted that every effort may be made so that the parties may settle their dispute and live peacefully.

Accordingly, let notice be issued to opposite party No. 1 through Chief Judicial Magistrate, Pilibheet for her appearance before this Court on 10.02.2010. She shall apprise the Court as to whether she is agreeable for sending the matter to the Mediation Centre of this Court or not. Petitioner No. 1 is also directed to appear before this Court on the next date of listing. List/put up on 10.02.2010.
Till 10.02.2010, the petitioners shall not be arrested in the aforesaid case crime number, provided they deposit Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) in this Court within a week from today out of which Rs. 8,000/- (Rupees eight thousand only) shall be paid to Smt. Paramjeet Kaur/opposite party No. 1 on her appearance before the Mediation Centre and remaining Rs.2,000/- (Rupees two thousand only) shall be deposited in the account of Mediation and Conciliation Centre of this Court.
