Learned counsel for the appellant submits that first appeal for grant of bail filed on behalf of the appellant was dismissed vide order dated 04.02.2025, however, he was granted liberty to renew the prayer for bail before the learned trial Court after recording testimony of injured as well as medical expert, who prepared medical report of the injured. It is submitted that when both the witnesses were examined, bail application was preferred before the learned trial Court and same was dismissed on 25.04.2025 thus, this appeal has been preferred. 3. It is contended by learned counsel for the appellant that appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. Learned counsel submits that according to the medical report, two injuries were found on the person of the injured out of which one was found grievous in nature and same was opined as dangerous to life. He further submits that alleged incident took place in spur of the moment. He argues that charge-sheet has already been filed and there is bleak chance of culmination of trial in near future as till date, only 2 witnesses have been examined out of 15 cited prosecution witnesses. He contends that the appellant is in custody since 21.06.2024 and further custody of the appellant would not serve any fruitful purpose. 4. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the prayer of bail made in this appeal and submits that there is allegation against the appellant of causing knife injuries on vital part of the injured. He further submits that complainant/victim of [2025:RJ-JP:22441] (3 of 4) [CRLAS-1317/2025] this case has duly been informed about hearing of this bail application. 5. Despite information, no one has appeared on behalf of the complainant/victim to oppose the prayer for bail. 6. Heard. Perused the material available on record. 7. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the appellant, as also looking to the material made available on record in the form of charge-sheet and trial will take considerable time in its conclusion as well as looking to the custody period, but without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of this case, this Court deems it just and proper to enlarge the appellant on bail. 8. Consequently, this instant appeal is allowed. The impugned order dated 25.04.2025 passed by learned Special Judge, SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Bundi (Raj) is set aside.
