¶3Status report has been filed by the State.

¶4Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, as per the Status Report, non-planned admissions in Government schools have already been closed. It is, therefore, submitted that the presence of the petitioner is all the more necessary to enable him to explore the possibility of securing admission of his daughter in a private school.

¶5He further submits that the petitioner's wife is working as a housemaid in different households and is single-handedly looking after their three children. It is submitted that the petitioner is, therefore, required to arrange the necessary funds for the admission of his daughter. In view thereof, learned counsel submits that, if the petitioner cannot be granted interim bail for a period of 45 days, he may at least be granted interim bail for a period of one week.

¶6Learned counsel for the complainant opposes the application and submits that the petitioner has not disclosed the name of any school in which he proposes to secure admission of his daughter. He further submits that, as per the verification report, the presence of either parent is sufficient for the purpose of admission and, therefore, the presence of the petitioner is not necessary, as his wife can also complete the admission formalities. He further submits that the petitioner has one prior criminal antecedent and, considering that his presence is not necessary for the admission of his daughter, no ground for grant of interim bail is made out.

¶7Learned APP for the State also opposes the application and submits that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. It is further submitted that the petitioner has one prior criminal antecedent and the present case involves offences under Sections 302/201/212/120B/34 of the IPC and The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, 1959. It is, therefore, prayed that the application seeking interim bail be dismissed.

¶8This Court has heard the learned counsels for the parties.

¶9As per the Status Report, the period for non-planned admissions has already expired and such admissions have now been closed. It is also stated that the same position applies not only to Government schools but also to private schools falling under the Ministry of Education/Department of Education, Government of NCT of Delhi.

¶10So far as the financial aspect is concerned, learned counsel for the petitioner himself submits that the wife of the petitioner is working as a housemaid and is single-handedly looking after their three children in Delhi. In these circumstances, the plea that the petitioner is required to be released solely for arranging funds for the admission of his daughter does not persuade this Court, particularly when the admission formalities can be completed by either of the parents. Accordingly, no ground for grant of interim bail is made out.

¶11Therefore, the present application is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, also stand(s), disposed of.

¶12The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. MADHU JAIN, J AUGUST 20, 2026/b/PG The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
