Both the applicants have been mainly convicted under Sections 376(2)(g) of Indian Penal Code. The maximum sentence imposed upon them is five years. The fine amount has already been deposited. Out of the five years, the applicants have undergone almost half the period of imprisonment. The appeals are not likely to come up for hearing in nearfuture. Looking to these facts and the evidence on record, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicants. 3. Each of both the applicants i.e. applicant-Asif Abdul Kayyu Khan and applicant-Manish Lal Bhadur Singh to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each (Rs. twenty five thousand only) with one or two sureties to make up the said amount.
