I. A. (Cr.) No. 1790/2011

In this interlocutory application, the appellant has prayed for his release on bail

during the pendency of this appeal.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant submitted that though the

prayer for bail of the appellant was earlier rejected by this Court, he has remained in

custody for more than eleven years; there is no likelihood of the appeal being taken up

for hearing in the near future.

Learned A.P.P opposed the prayer for bail of the appellant, but has not disputed

the period of custody of the appellant.

Regard being had to the facts and circumstances of the case and also

considering the period of custody of the appellant, during the pendency of this appeal,

the above named appellant is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail-bond of

Rs. 10,000/-(Ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the

satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C-I, Chaibasa in connection

with S. T No. 83/2000.

This interlocutory application stands disposed of.
