¶14

Heard learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioner-UT.

¶15

The Petitioner-Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court seeking cancellation of Order dated 10^th of March, 2025 passed by the Fast Track Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge, Anantnag (for short “the Trial Court”), whereby the Respondent herein was granted interim bail in connection with FIR No. 34/2024 of Police Station Aishmuqam, for an offence punishable under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

¶16

The contention of the Petitioner is that, while granting interim bail to the Respondent, the Trial Court did not take into consideration the parameters as envisaged under law as also the gravity of the offence alleged to have been committed by the Respondent.

¶17

Admittedly, the Respondent herein was admitted to interim bail and the matter is still pending on the docket of the Trial Court. Therefore, the Petitioner is required to first exhaust the remedy before the
