Mr. Siddhartha Bisht submits though as per the medical report hymen was found to be intact but there is some redness, however he has not disputed this fact that the chargesheet has already been filed on 25.11.2024, therefore, there is no need of custodial interrogation of the present applicant and the applicant has no previous
2025:UHC:6669 criminal history and is languishing in jail since
08.10.2024.
7. After hearing the arguments of learned counsel for the parties and further taking into
consideration that the chargesheet has already been filed on 25.11.2024 and as such there is no need of custodial interrogation of the present applicant and the applicant is languishing in jail since 08.10.2024, this court is of the view that the applicant deserves of bail.
8. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case the bail application is allowed.
9. Let the applicant ‘Suhail @ Rana’ be released on bail on furnishing his personal bond and two sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
