through VC.
Mr. Sandeep Sharma Adv., for victim Sunil Kaushik

SI Mohit Prakash is present on behalf of IO.
The IO has filed his report. The same is taken on
record. Copy supplied.
On the last date of hearing, Ld. Counsel for the
applicant/accused had submitted that as the mother of the
applicant/accused had expired on 05.02.2026, there were certain
rituals that were to be performed by the son of the deceased i.e. the
applicant/accused and further, certain financial arrangements were
to be made by the applicant/accused with respect to his aged father.
While as per the report of the IO and the statement of
the sister of the applicant/accused, the last rites as well as the
prayer meet had already been performed. However, still
considering any future religious rituals could be there, this court
had directed the IO to confirm if any such rituals were still left to
be performed.
The IO has filed his report wherein he has recorded
the statement of the father of the applicant/accused who has
categorically stated that all the rituals have been performed and no
hawan or any other ritual is left that requires the presence of
the applicant/accused. He has also stated in his statement that his

health is stable and he is supported by his daughter, son-in-law and
extended family. The father of the applicant/accused has also
specifically mentioned that in case of any misuse of bail or
violation of condition, he will not bear any responsibility or
liability.
In view of the statement of the father of the
applicant/accused, it is clear that no other ritual requiring the
presence of the applicant/accused is left to be performed in relation
to demise of the mother of the applicant/accused. Further, the
father of the applicant/accused has also stated that he is supported
by his daughter thus, negating the averment of the
applicant/accused in his application seeking interim bail to make
financial arrangements for his father. The father of the
applicant/accused vide his statement dated 11.02.2026 and the
sister of the applicant/accused vide statement filed with reply dated
10.02.2026 have categorically absolved themselves of any
responsibility towards the applicant/accused.
Considering the above as well as the fact that the
applicant/accused was declared as a proclaimed offender and had
jumped interim bail on a previous occasion, the application filed on
behalf of the applicant/accused Harmenn Sabherwal seeking
interim bail stands dismissed.
The application is accordingly disposed off.
Copy of this order be also given
dasti to Ld. Counsel
for the applicant/accused.
