The order is confirmed up to the Supreme Court. In pursuance of the liberty granted by the Apex Court, separate bail application was moved, which was rejected on 13.02.2026. Thereafter, applicant has approached this Court.

5.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that informant has filed separate application for assist to public prosecutor in the present case. The informant is stated on oath in paragraph no. 4 of the application that the dispute has been settled amicably with the applicant and other persons, and he does not have any objection in granting bail. As the dispute is settled, there is no possibility of indulging in any such activity in future. The applicant is enlarged on bail in subsequent Crime No. 211/2024. 6.

Learned A.P.P. submits that the applicant is persistently indulging in the illegal activities. The Supreme Court did not grant any relief to him. The consent of the informant is immaterial. The police machinery has been engaged and being used, which needs to be compensated. 7.

I have gone through the allegations attributable to the applicant. The informant, who sustained injuries has stated on oath that he does not have objection for releasing the applicant on bail. The civil dispute between them appears to have been settled. The applicant is granted bail in Crime No. 211/2024 also. Considering the nature of the allegations, I am inclined to grant bail.

The submissions of the learned A.P.P. cannot be overlooked. There are multiple rounds of litigation in securing bail. The police machinery is being consistently kept engaged by the parties. The applicant is ready to pay costs of Rs. 5000/- 9.
