Considering the said submission, the applicant was granted interim bail vide order dated 05.05.2025 from 06.05.2025 to 27.05.2025.

Learned counsel for the applicant pointed out that the applicant has surrendered on 30.05.2025 and since then he is in jail. During the course of argument, learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is willing to bring the victim to his house, but victim is not ready.
