Learned counsel for the applicant submits that wife of the applicant was Signature Not Verified Signed by: RAM KUMAR at the advance stage of pregnancy and she had delivered a child on 15.01.2024. No male member is available to look after wife of the applicant and their suckling child. Therefore, the applicant may be extended benefit of interim bail for two months. Learned counsel further contends that although parents of the applicant are available but they cannot take care due to their advanced age. Per contra, learned counsel or the State ably assisted by learned counsel for the complainant opposes the bail application on the ground of gravity of alleged offence and cites criminal history of four cases against the applicant. Learned counsel further submits that after release on interim bail, the applicant may abscond and threaten the witnesses.

Heard. Perused the record.

The applicant has submitted family card which shows that father of the applicant is aged around 57 years and mother of the applicant is aged 52 years. There is nothing to suggest that they cannot take proper care of the wife and child of the applicant. Therefore, no case is made out for grant of interim bail.

This application sans merits and is hereby dismissed.
