Also contends that parties i.e. petitioner as well as de facto complainant have compromised the matter at their own level and in this regard a quashing petition (CRM-M-32315-2025) is pending consideration for 20.08.2025. 4. Per contra, learned State counsel, on instructions, duly acknowledged the above factual position; but he opposed the prayer on the ground that allegations are very serious. 5. Learned counsel for complainant acknowledges the factum of compromise and raises no objection in case present petition is allowed. 6. Heard both sides and perused the paper-book. 7. Concededly, petitioner is in custody since 04.05.2025. Moreover, it is not the objection raised by the State that in case petitioner is released on bail, he shall influence the witnesses or hamper fair trial in any manner.

Therefore, further incarceration of petitioner would not serve any purpose. 8. Consequently, present petition is allowed; petitioner shall be admitted to bail on furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate concerned. 9. Petitioner shall appear on each & every date of hearing and to fully co-operate with learned trial Court without seeking any unnecessary adjournment(s). 10.
