Counsel submits, that being the brother, the petitioner's presence is necessary to fulfil his role and obligations towards his sister. 6.

Ms. Gupta opposes the grant of interim bail, submitting, that the case concerns allegations of the brutal killing of a 13-year-old boy; and there are several eye witnesses who have testified against the petitioner as to his role in the offence.

7.

The status report records that the Investigating Officer has verified that the wedding of the petitioner's sister is scheduled to take place on 30.03.2026 at the aforesaid venue.

Though the nominal roll is not available, the petitioner is stated to have been arrested in the present case on 05.11.2020; and has been in judicial custody ever since as an undertrial. 9.

The petitioner's SCRB record dated 28.03.2026, a copy of which has been appended to the status report, shows that the petitioner has one other criminal involvement viz., case FIR No.479/2020 registered under sections 394/34 of the IPC at P.S.: Kalindi Kunj, South-East Delhi. Counsel for the petitioner however states, that the petitioner has been acquitted in that case.

Upon a conspectus of the foregoing, and keeping in mind only the interests of the petitioner's sister, whose wedding ceremonies may come under cloud if her brother, viz., the petitioner, is not present at the ceremonies, this court is persuaded to grant to the petitioner - Shahdab @ Pulsar s/o Said Ahmed Qureshi - limited interim bail for 03 days commencing 29.03.2026 to 31.03.2026, subject to the following conditions:
