He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 06.07.2025, the charge sheet has been filed and the trial is likely to take some time, he is ready and willing to comply with any of the conditions which may be imposed upon him and thus, it is submitted that the application be allowed and the applicant be released on bail. 3 4. Learned counsel for the respondent/State, on the other hand, has opposed the bail application. 5. Heard counsel for the parties and perused the record. 7. On due consideration of the rival submissions and the fact that all the material witnesses including the victim have turned hostile and the applicant is in jail since 06.07.2025, the charge sheet has been filed and looking to the fact that the final disposal of the trial is likely to take sufficiently long time, the present application deserves to be allowed. Accordingly, his bail application is allowed. 8. It is directed that in the event of applicant executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs. 10,000/- with one surety to the satisfaction of the concerned trial court, he shall be released on bail on the following conditions: i) He/she shall appear before the trial court regularly on each and every date, unless exempted from appearance. ii) He/she shall not make any attempt to tamper with the prosecution witnesses.
