  Through this fourth petition, the petitioner seeks interim bail for 10 days' in case bearing FIR No.587 dated 21.07.2017, registered under Sections 148, 149, 302, 323, 506 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959 (Sections 324, 307, 325, 34 IPC added later on), at Police Station Sadar Palwal, District Palwal, to attend the marriage of his nephew, which is to be solemnized on 02.12.2021.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner, who is an Ex-Sarpanch of the village, has already availed interim bail twice, PARVEEN KUMAR 2021.12.04 05:57 I attest to the accuracy of this order.

   but never misused the same. Still further, it is submitted that the elder brother of the petitioner has passed away and being the head of the family, the petitioner is required for performing certain ceremonies. On this premise, the learned counsel prays that the petitioner be released on interim regular bail.

On the other hand, the learned State counsel, assisted by the learned counsel for the complainant, opposes the prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. Needless to observe that in a marriage ceremony of the nephew, the presence of the uncle is imperative, but not necessary. But this Court is not inclined to grant interim bail to the petitioner for the reason that the younger brother of the petitioner whose son's marriage is to be solemnized, is there to perform the ceremonies. Therefore, the rituals necessary to conduct the marriage function of the petitioner's nephew can well be performed by the younger brother of the petitioner or some other member in the family. In view of the above, this Court is not inclined to grant interim bail to the petitioner.

Dismissed.
