Yes. A victim can object to the bail application.

G. ARAVINTHAN (Expert) 03 October 2010
absolutely, the victim has every right to object the application for bail of the accused

Even the victim can make his objection in an application for anticipatory bail, filed on behalf of the accused

I do agree with Aravinthan.

No, sorry my view is quite contrary to the opinion expressed by my Ld. friends.

the terms victim has been added recently in Cr.P.C in some different context and not for all purposes. Another Section 357 A has been introduced as a victim compensation Scheme. The term Victim has been defined in this context only.

however, the state or complainant may oppose the bail application under the other relevant provisions.
