body2025
ORDER : SLP(CRL.) No. 8787/2024: 1. Leave granted. 2. The appellant has been charged with the offences punishable under Sections 311, 406, 420, 120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. 3. It is not in dispute that pursuant to the investigation, the charge-sheet has been filed and, therefore, the custodial interrogation of the appellant is no longer required. 4. In such view of the matter, we are inclined to set aside the impugned order and grant anticipatory bail to the appellant. 5. Accordingly, the impugned order stands set aside. The appellant is granted anticipatory bail, subject to the condition that he shall appear before the Trial Court and also based on the terms and conditions that may be imposed by the Trial Court. We make it clear that in the event of non-cooperation, it is open to the Trial Court to cancel the anticipatory bail granted by this Court. 6. The appeal is allowed accordingly. 7. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. SLP(CRL) NO. 10055/2024: 1. Leave granted. 2. The appellant has been charged with the offences punishable under Sections 311, 420, 406, 120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. 3. Taking into consideration the period of incarceration and notwithstanding the fact that the appellant is involved in multiple criminal cases, we are inclined to set aside the impugned order, particularly keeping in mind that the charge-sheet has already been filed, and grant bail to the appellant. 4. Accordingly, the impugned order stands set aside. The appellant is granted bail, subject to the terms and conditions that may be imposed by the Trial Court. 5. The appeal is allowed accordingly. 6. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
