Criminal Appeal (Sb) No.3035/2025. 3. Learned counsel also contends that appellants are in custody since 03.08.2025, no recovery is required to be made from them, charge-sheet has already been filed in the matter and trial will take considerably long time in its conclusion, so no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the appellants in custody, and therefore prays to enlarge the appellants on bail. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor oppose the submissions made by learned counsel for the appellants hereinabove. 5. Learned Public Prosecutor informs that due information has been given to the complainant / victim regarding the hearing of this criminal appeal, however, despite due service, no one has put in appearance on behalf of the complainant / victim. 6. Taking into consideration the overall facts & circumstances of the case; the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the appellants; co-accused have already been enlarged on bail by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, one of the petitioners is not named in the FIR, charge-sheet has been filed, statement of the injured has been recorded before the trial Court, and trial will take considerably long time in its conclusion, without commenting [2026:RJ-JP:9026] (3 of 3) [CRLAS-369/2026] anything upon the merits / demerits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to allow the appeal filed by the appellants. 7. Consequently, the instant appeal is allowed. The impugned order dated 29.01.2026 passed by the Special Court, SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Kota, in Criminal Bail Application No.33/2026, is set aside.
