NASREEN SIDDIQUI Vs. STATE OF UTTARAKHAND & ANR

Decided On January 28, 2019
NASREEN SIDDIQUI Appellant
V/S
State Of Uttarakhand And Anr Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Leave granted.

(2.) The challenge in the present matter is to the order dated 11.10.2018 passed by the High Court of Uttrakhand at Nainital in Bail Application No.98/2018. While said application for bail preferred by respondent No.2 was still under consideration, the High Court by its order dated 11.10.2018, which is presently under appeal, had directed release of respondent No.2 on interim bail.

(3.) Since the charges levelled against respondent No.2 are for the offences punishable under Section 376 and 452 IPC, in the submission of the learned counsel appearing for the appellant, interim bail ought not to have been granted.
