IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 5451 /2024 [@ SLP [CRL.] NO.16535/2024]
ROOP KISHORE Appellant(s)
VERSUS
STATE OF HARYANA Respondent(s)
O R D E R
Leave granted.
The appellant has been charged for the offences
punishable under Section 506 of IPC, 1860 and Section
6 of POCSO Act, 2012.
The age of the appellant at the time of the
alleged occurrence was 21 years. He has been under
incarceration for more than three years and four
months. Only 5 out of 27 witnesses have been examined
in the course of trial so far, and the trial might
take substantial time for its completion.
Considering the above facts and circumstances,
we are inclined to set aside the impugned order.
Accordingly, the impugned order stands set aside
and the appellant is granted bail on terms and
conditions which are to the satisfaction of the Trial
Court.
2
The appeal stands allowed accordingly.
Pending applications, if any, shall stand
disposed of.
