appear in the said examination. It is also submitted that subsequent to the written examination, practical examination will be held in between 15.12.2020 to 22.12.2020. The applicant was earlier granted temporary bail by this Court in MCRC No. 1384 of 2020 vide order dated 02.03.2020 for the purpose of appearing in examination. The applicant has abided by the conditions and surrendered after the time of temporary bail was lapsed and he has not misused the liberty granted to him. Therefore, he may be granted interim/ temporary bail for appearing in the examination.

¶17

Learned State counsel opposes the application for grant of interim bail and submits that out of 5 papers, in which, the applicant had to appear, 3 papers have already been conducted, therefore, no purpose would be served, if the applicant is granted temporary bail for appearing in the remaining papers. Earlier, his regular bail application, has been rejected by this Court on merits, therefore, he is not entitled for grant of temporary bail and application for grant of temporary bail may be rejected.

¶18

Considered on the submissions and the facts present in this case. This is sixth bail application filed by the applicant for grant of bail. This application for grant of temporary bail has been filed during pendency of the fifth application for grant of regular bail. As per the prayer made, this application is related to future prospects of the applicant and further, he has not misused the liberty that was earlier granted to him by this Court for appearing
