Learned counsel for the applicant submits that earlier also when the elder daughter of the applicant was suffering from Tumour, he was granted short term bail on 2 09.01.2026. At that time the surgery could not be done. Therefore, the applicant surrendered to the custody again.

Learned State Counsel submits that the elder daughter of the applicant was operated for Brain Tumour on 19.03.2026. 6. Having considered the instant bail application is treated as short term bail application. 7. Without adverting on the merits of the case, purely on the humanitarian ground, this Court is of the view that the applicant may be granted short term bail for a period of 14 days from the date of his actual release. 8. The short term bail application is allowed. 9.
