CRM-M-29081-2025(O&M) - 2 - 3.

In compliance with the order dated 28.05.2025, learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Narang Singh, has verified the medical condition of the petitioner's father and confirms that he is indeed in a serious condition and is required to undergo surgery. However, learned State counsel, while opposing the grant of bail, relies upon the order dated 12.05.2025 passed by the learned trial Court, highlighting that serious allegations have been levelled against the petitioner. 4.

In view of the contentions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the medical condition of the father of petitioner which has been verified by the learned State counsel, this Court is of the view that the petitioner is entitled to concession of interim bail at this stage. 5.

Accordingly, petition stands allowed and petitioner is granted interim bail for a period of 01 month from 31.05.2025, on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned, on such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the Trial Court.

6.

Needless to say that after the expiry of said period, the petitioner shall surrender before the concerned Jail immediately. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of accordingly.
