The learned APP strongly opposed for grant of the application.

4.

After having gone through the Fir and the related police papers, it appears to be the case of emotional involvement between the applicant and the victim. The applicant is 20 years of age. The learned Advocate representing the victim concedes to grant the applicant, bail. Investigation is over. Charge-sheet has been filed. It will take time for commencement and conclusion of the trial. In the fitness of things, the Court is therefore inclined to grant the application. Hence, following order:

O R D E R

(i) The Bail Application is allowed.
