The petitioner is the accused No.4 in Sessions Case No.1362 of 2022 which is pending before the Ist Additional Sessions Court, Thrissur. His application for bail (Bail Application No.10734 of 2023) was dismissed by this Court as per the order dated 21.05.2024. The petitioner now seeks interim bail for a period of three weeks. The purpose for which he seeks interim bail is to solemnise his marriage which was agreed upon earlier. The further reason is that on account of the delay of solemnisation of his marriage, the marriage of his sister is getting delayed.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor.

3. The learned Public Prosecutor opposes the petition stating that the petitioner has involved in a few other crimes and if released on bail, there is every likelihood of his abscondence.

Accordingly, this petition is allowed. Petitioner is granted interim bail for a period of 10 days subject to the following conditions.

i) The petitioner shall execute a bond
