NEUTRAL CITATION R/CR.MA/10521/2026 ORDER DATED: 08/05/2026 undefined
6. The aforesaid objection taken on the part of learned APP Ms. Divyangna Jhala is rejected on the ground that no antecedents on the part of the applicant could be pointed out and merely because the father of the applicant has a chequered history that would not, ipso facto, impel this Court to reject this application, more particularly, in view of the affidavit provided by the complainant himself. Resultantly, the present application is allowed.
7. In this view of the matter and considering the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra and Ors. reported in (2011)1 SCC 694, this Court is inclined to consider this application.
8. In the result, the present application is allowed by directing that in the event of applicant herein being arrested pursuant to the FIR No. C.R. No. No.11210060260435/2026 registered with Varachha Police Station, Surat, the applicant shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with one surety of like amount, on the Page 3 of 5 Uploaded by MS.PARUL DUTTA(HCD0073) on Fri May 08 2026 Downloaded on : Sat May 09 03:37:07 IST 2026 NEUTRAL CITATION R/CR.MA/10521/2026 ORDER DATED: 08/05/2026 undefined following conditions:
