appellant, he was enlarged on interim bail vide
order dated 07.11.2024 in CRM-M No.21790/2024
(fifth petition for regular bail) by the High
Court. Subsequently, the bail granted was
extended. Later, considering the report filed
along with the affidavit dated 28.10.2025, the
High Court dismissed the said petition on merits
and directed the appellant to surrender within a
period of one (01) week from today. Challenging
the same, the present appeal is filed.
4. This Court, vide order dated 27.02.2026,
protected the appellant against surrender until
further orders.
5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties
and perused the material placed on record, we
are of the considered view that the appellant
has made out a case for interference with the
impugned order dated 23.02.2026.
6. Considering the totality of circumstances,
SLP (Crl.) NO.3853/2026 2
we are inclined to grant bail to the appellant
on such terms and conditions as may be fixed by
the Trial Court. Ordered accordingly.
7. Since the appellant has not surrendered, we
direct the appellant to appear before the Trial
Court on 10.04.2026 to furnish fresh bail bonds.
8. Trial expedited. The appellant shall fully
cooperate during the trial and shall not misuse
the liberty in any manner. It shall be open to
the Trial Court to take all steps, including
cancellation of bail, should the necessity
arise.
9. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed.
10. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand
disposed of.
