O R D E R
IA No. 376/2023
Taking into consideration the fact that the order of acquittal, as passed by the learned Trial Judge, was converted into conviction by the learned High Court and further that the petitioner has undergone incarceration of about five years, we are inclined to grant bail.
The applicant is, therefore, directed to be released on bail in connection with Sessions Trial No.15 of 2011, to the satisfaction of the Trial Court.
The application is, accordingly, allowed.
