CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1104 /2026 [@ SLP [CRL.] NO.17977/2025]

DEEPAK PARSHAD Appellant(s)

STATE OF HARYANA Respondent(s)

Leave granted.

The appellant seeks bail in connection with

FIR No.0524/2024, dated 14.09.2024, registered at

Police Station Saran, District-Faridabad, for the

offences punishable under Sections 376(2) and 506

of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.

We have heard the learned counsel appearing

for the parties.

We have been informed that all the

independent witnesses have been examined and the

appellant has been in custody for more than a year

and a half.

Though learned counsel appearing for the

appellant submits that this is a case of a

consensual relationship, we are not inclined to go

into the said aspect, at this stage. Taking note

of the facts governing including the prolonged

trial, we are inclined to grant bail to the

appellant.

Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside

and the appellant is granted bail on terms and

conditions to the satisfaction of the concerned

Trial Court.

The appeal stands allowed, accordingly.

Pending application(s), if any, shall stand

disposed of.
