***
Memorandum of appearance has been filed on behalf of respondent which is taken on record.

Counsel appearing for the applicant-appellant submits that the present leave to appeal was filed against acquittal in the year 2024 and they have a very good case on merit.

On the contrary, respondent's counsel submits that the judgment of acquittal is well reasoned and leave to appeal should not be granted. He further submits that in case, this Court grants leave to appeal and admits the main appeal, its turn will not come for hearing for decades, as such pendency of the appeal may be treated inconsequential for the respondents. Leave to appeal is granted.

Counsel for the respondent further submits that he be exempted from furnishing bail bonds/ surety bonds before the concerned trial Court or Chief Judicial Magistrate. He undertakes to comply with the orders if the judgment of acquittal is reversed and would comply with the directions passed by the Court. Given such undertaking, there shall be no need to furnish bail bonds/ surety bonds by the respondent.

Main appeal Admit.

List for final hearing on its own turn as per queue following the roster in the said category.

It is clarified that pendency of the present appeal before this Court shall be inconsequential in any manner whatsoever. Liberty reserved to the parties to file an application seeking sending the matter for mediation. (Anoop Chitkara) Judge 18.12.2024 Sonia Puri
