Bopanna and Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha, JJ. allowed the appeal and ordered the release of the accused person on bail, considering that the accused was in custody for a period of more than five years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In the matter at hand, a First Information Report (&#8216;FIR&#8217;) was registered against eight accused persons for raping the informant&#8217;s daughter by intoxicating her. The High Court dismissed the accused person&#8217;s bail application considering the seriousness of the offence and the fact that it was a gang rape, and it would be a hindrance in the fair trial if the accused was granted bail at that stage. Aggrieved by the said orders, the accused approached the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the accused person was in custody for more than five years as an under-trial prisoner. The Court said that though the trial progressed, it did not progress at the pace it was expected to be progressed. Therefore, the Court considered it appropriate to release the accused on bail subject to appropriate conditions. The Court also said that the accused person shall diligently participate in the trial and shall not give room for complaints.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Javed Shah Abdul Shah v.
