                                  I.A.No. 2 of 2024

                        The    victim-cum-de    facto     complainant
                 seeks impleadment in this bail hearing.          The
                 learned Senior Counsel appearing for the victim-
                 cum-de facto complainant cites 2022 LiveLaw
                 (SC) 376, a Judgment of the Full Bench of the
                 Hon'ble      Supreme   Court    of     India,   which
                 specifically addressed the victim's right to
                 participate in a bail hearing. After analysis, the
                 Lordships affirmatively held that the victim is
                 entitled to participate in the bail hearing.     It is
                 also noted that the victim is entitled to appeal
                 against acquittal and that permitting the victim to
                 participate in the bail hearing serves the ends of
                 justice.

                        Considering that there is a learned Public
                 Prosecutor representing the respondent-state in
