JADHAV, J. DATE : SEPTEMBER 23, 2026 P.C. : 1. Heard Mr. Rajput, learned Advocate for Applicant and Ms. Newton, learned APP for Respondent. 2. This is an Application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 seeking Bail in connection with C.R.

Applicant is arrested on 10.09.2020 and has been in incarceration since then for offences punishable under 302 and 498-A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Trial has commenced but vide order dated 16.06.2026, learned Sessions Judge has observed and recorded in the order that Applicant appears to be of unsound mind. In that 1 of 4 35.BA.2215.2026.doc view of the matter, trial has been adjourned sine die. Though prisoner’s medical report was called on the aforesaid ground and reason, the same having been placed before me however it states that prisoner has no medical complaint. 4. Be that as it may, rather than this Court going into the issue as to who is right or who is wrong it would be appropriate that the case of Applicant is considered for release on bail on the ground of long incarceration without delineating any opinion on merits of the matter lest it would affect the ongoing trial. 5. In that view of the matter, Applicant is granted bail subject to following conditions:- (i) Applicant is directed to be immediately released from prison in connection with Crime No. 1192 of 2020; (ii) Applicant is directed to be released on bail on furnishing P.R. Bond of Rs. 15,000/- (Rs.

It is clarified that the observations made in this order are limited for the purpose of granting Bail only and I have not made any observations on merits of the case. The trial shall be adjudicated on the strength of the evidence led and strictly on its own merits being 3 of 4 35.BA.2215.2026.doc uninfluenced with any of the prima facie observations made hereinabove in this order. 7.
