The petitioner approached the Supreme Court for bail in a separate rape case on 07-01-2025. The Supreme Court granted him interim bail until 31-03-2025 on the ground of need for medical treatment due to his deteriorating health. Following this, the petitioner filed a petition before this court for bail, mirroring the arguments presented to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The State, however, opposed the bail and highlighted concerns about public safety and the victim&#8217;s family&#8217;s security, especially when there have been allegations of witness tampering in the past.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that petitioner&#8217;s health conditions justified temporary release for medical treatment, consistent with the Supreme Court&#8217;s rationale. The Court emphasized that the relief is granted solely on humanitarian grounds and did not imply any view on the merits of the conviction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Aligning largely with the conditions imposed by the Supreme Court, the Court granted interim bail to the petitioner until 31-03-2025. The Court further imposed an additional condition that if the petitioner travels outside Jodhpur, he must cover the costs of three constables accompanying him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:
