Heard Sri Manoj Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Nikhil Singh, learned A.G.A. for the State. 2. It has been contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant Sundarlal @ Shyamsundar is in jail since 11.11.2024 in Case Crime No.386 of 2024, for the offence under Section 105 B.N.S., registered at Police Station-Hardi, District-Bahraich. 3. It has been submitted that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case as he has not committed any offence as alleged. 4. At the very outset, attention of this Court has been drawn towards order dated 22.01.2025 passed by this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.482 of 2025; 'Budhram Vs. State of U.P. & Others', whereby this Court granted bail to the co-accused Budhram. 5. As per the prosecution story, the general allegations of assault and beating to the victim (since deceased) have been attributed to all the three accused persons and the deceased received two injuries i.e. one contusion and one abrasion. The cause of death could not be ascertained, therefore Viscera was preserved. Learned counsel for the applicant states that since similar role has been assigned to the applicant and on the basis of principles of parity, present applicant may also be enlarged on bail. He has further submitted that the present applicant is having criminal history of one case which has been explained in the supplementary affidavit. 6. Learned counsel for applicant further submitted that charge- sheet has already been filed, there is no apprehension of absconding or tampering the evidence or witnesses. 7. The learned counsel for the applicant has given an undertaking on behalf of applicant that the applicant shall not misuse the liberty of bail and shall cooperate with the trial proceedings and shall abide by all terms and conditions of bail, if granted. 8. Learned A.G.A. has stated that on account of severe blow through blunt objects, the deceased died on account of clot in his heart chamber. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. 9. Having heard counsel for the parties, perusing the material available on record and considering the fact that in the main F.I.R. as well as in the statement of witnesses, general allegations of assault and beating mercilessly have been levelled against all accused persons and no specific role has been attributed to anyone. Nothing incriminating has been recovered from the possession of the applicant. As per the prosecution story, all the accused persons were beating the victim (since deceased) through Bamboo Cane and sticks, however, victim received only two injuries i.e. one contusion and one abrasion. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the case and considering the arguments of learned counsel for the parties, contents and allegations of F.I.R. and fact that the co-accused person namely, Budhram, who has been assigned the similar role, has been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 22.01.2025 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.482 of 2025, therefore, on the principle of parity the applicant is entitled to be released on bail in this case. 10. Bail application is allowed. 11.
