On Thursday, Srija failed to turn up at the Legal Services Authority, which had summoned her following a request from Sirish that he wanted to speak to Srija privately and pacify her.
After knowing that Srija would not be coming to the authority, Sirish also did not turn up.
The legal services authority gave a fresh date of April 16 for both Srija and Sirish for appearance. In the meantime, the police authorities too have begun efforts to bring a patch-up between them.
They have so far not arrested Sirish though the court had not granted him anticipatory bail. They want to give some more time for Srija to come to an agreement with her husband.
Interestingly, Srija has not so far produced before the police the e-mails and transcripts of the text messages reportedly sent by her to her parents about the alleged physical and mental harassment by Sirish and his mother. Hence, the delay in arrest of Sirish, sources said.
