***** VINOD S. BHARDWAJ, J. (Oral) This second petition has been filed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner(s) in case bearing FIR No.201 dated 04.12.2025 registered under Sections 115(2), 324(5), 333, 303(2), 351(2), 191(3), 190 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 at Police Station Lalru, District SAS Nagar. 2.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner fairly concedes that the present petition would not be maintainable, however, he beseeches indulgence of this Court on account of the peculiar circumstances of the present case pointing out that the petitioner has been blessed with a baby girl yesterday i.e. 11.05.2026, who is currently admitted in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Counsel for the petitioner undertakes that the petitioner shall appear before the Trial Court and submit an undertaking to the effect that he shall surrender before it for consideration of his case for grant of regular bail within a period of 15 days from today. 3.

Without commenting on the maintainability of the present case and purely on sympathetic consideration since the petitioner has been SUMIT SINGH GUSAIN 2026.05.13 17:36 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

102 CRM-M-26507-2026(O&M) blessed with a daughter, the present petition is disposed of. 4.

In the event of the petitioner appearing before the Trial Court on or before 15.05.2026 and furnishing bail/surety bonds to its satisfaction alongwith an undertaking that he shall surrender before it within a period of 15 days from the abovementioned date, he be admitted to interim bail by the Trial Court.

5.

It is however made clear that the present order may not be treated as re-appreciation of any merit in the case or claim of the petitioner for grant of bail and that on such surrender, the application for grant of regular bail shall be considered on the merits by the Trial Court without being influenced by the order of this Court.

6.

Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. (VINOD S. BHARDWAJ) 12.05.2026 JUDGE Sumit Gusain Whether speaking/reasoned :
