Reason:
4. As has been rightly submitted by the learned
1 SLP(CRL.) No.17910/2025
Senior counsel appearing for the appellant, that
the trial would take considerable time to
conclude coupled with the fact that admittedly,
the appellant has been under incarceration for 8
years and 6 months approximately.
5. Considering the above position, we are inclined
to set aside the impugned order passed by the
High Court and grant bail to the appellant.
6. Accordingly, the impugned order stands set aside
and the appellant is granted bail, subject to
the terms and conditions that may be imposed by
the concerned Trial Court.
7. The appeal stands allowed, accordingly.
8. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand
disposed of.
