Heard the learned counsel for the appellant, learned Public Prosecutor and counsel for the complainant and perused the material on record. [2026:RJ-JP:15872] (2 of 2) [CRLAS-670/2026] 3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. It is contended that though the allegations have been made regarding the infliction of life-threatening injuries upon the injured person but no specific act causing such injuries has been attributed to the present petitioner. It is further submitted that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 11.03.2026 and has no prior criminal antecedents. The investigation/trial of the case will take considerable time, therefore, the appeal presented by the present appellant deserves to be allowed. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor and counsel for the complainant have vehemently opposed the appeal. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it just and proper to allow the appeal filed by the appellant under Section 14-A(2) of SC/ST Act. 6. Accordingly, this criminal appeal filed under Section 14-A(2) of SC/ST Act is allowed and order dated 18.03.2026 passed by the learned trial court is set aside. It is directed that appellant-Dennis David S/o R.n. David, shall be released on bail provided he shall execute a personal bond in a sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of learned trial court for his appearance before that court on each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till the completion of the trial.
