     R/CR.A/991/2026                                 ORDER DATED: 05/06/2026




that considering the role attributed to the present appellant, the
appellant may be enlarged on regular bail on any terms and conditions.

4.    Learned APP has opposed the bail appeal contending that,
considering the conduct of the appellant and nature of accusation, the
discretion may not be exercised in favour of the appellant.

5.    Having heard learned advocates for the respective parties and
upon perusal of material placed on record, it appears that the relation
was consensual in nature. Now, the complainant has filed an affidavit
in favour of the accused. It is reported that the applicant having past
records. In such circumstances, imposing stringent conditions, I am
inclined to enlarge the appellant on regular bail.

6.    Hence, the appeal is allowed and the appellant is ordered to be
released on regular bail in connection with the FIR being C.R.
No.11195004260237 of 2026 registered with Deesa Saouth Police
