Although, bail is sought on merits, at this stage Mr.Trivedi, learned counsel for the Applicant, prays for interim bail to the Applicant, for attending the last rites of his mother, who passed away on 13th October, 2025. 3.

Ms.Malhotra, learned APP, tendered a report of the Investigating Officer, pertaining to the request of the Applicant to be released on interim bail for the aforesaid purpose. She has verified the death certificate and submits, on instructions, that the Applicant's mother passed away and the Applicant is required to attend the last rites of his mother. 4.

In view of the aforesaid reason and purely on humanitarian ground, I am inclined to grant interim bail to the Applicant, only for the purpose of attending his mother's last rites. It is directed that Applicant be released on interim bail for a period of eight days from the date, on which he is released, for the purpose of attending his mother's last rites.
