Given the nature of the allegations as levelled against the petitioner as well as the above discussed facts, this Court is of the considered opinion that no case for pre-trial incarceration of the petitioner is made out. Pre-trial incarceration even otherwise should not be a replica of post conviction sentencing. Taking into consideration the above discussed facts, this petition is allowed and the order dated 29.11.2025 granting interim bail to the petitioner is made absolute, subject to compliance of conditions laid down in Section 482(2) of BNSS.

Since the main petition has been disposed of, pending application, if any, is rendered infructuous. (MANISHA BATRA) 13.01.2026 JUDGE harjeet Whether speaking/reasoned :
