2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is in judicial custody in connection with the aforesaid case. It is contended that the petitioner's mother has expired on 08.02.2026, and the last rites are to be performed. Learned counsel for the petitioner has filed the relevant documents along with the petition. It is therefore, prayed that the petitioner may be granted interim bail for a period of 15 days. It is further submitted that the applicant undertakes to surrender immediately after expiry of the interim bail period and shall not misuse the liberty so granted.

4. Per contra, the learned Public Prosecutor opposes the prayer and submitted the verification report sent by the concerned SHO, wherein it is stated that the petitioner's mother has expired on

08.02.2026.

5. Having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and after perusing the material available on record, this Court is of the view that the mother of the petitioner was expired, thus, on humanitarian ground, the presence of the applicant is required for her last rites. Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court deems it appropriate to grant interim bail to the applicant for a limited period of seven days.

6. The applicant Devendra Kacahawa S/o Mohanlal is directed to be released on interim bail for a period of 07 days from the date of his release, in connection with aforesaid FIR on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court / Jail Authority, subject to the condition that the applicant shall surrender before the concerned jail authorities immediately upon expiry of the interim bail period of 07 days, unless the period is extended by a competent court.

7. It is made clear that if the applicant fails to surrender after the expiry of the interim bail period, the authorities shall be at liberty to proceed against him in accordance with law.

8. The application stands disposed of accordingly.
