He has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 22.12.2024. It is submitted that similarly placed co-accused, Pal Rohan Pradeep, Anurag Yadav and Nagendra Singh @ Harsh have already been enlarged on bail of by this Bench by orders dated 28.04.2025, 30.04.2025 and 06.05.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 5278 of 2025, 2838 of 2025 and 5294 of 2025 respectively, copy of the bail orders produced by learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record. He further submitted that since the role of the applicant is identical to that of co-accused, Pal Rohan Pradeep, Anurag Yadav and Nagendra Singh @ Harsh, who have already been enlarged on bail, he is also entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity. He has no criminal antecedent and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for. 4. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. 5. Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. 6. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 7. Let the accused-applicant, Imran Khan involved in above mentioned case crime number be released on bail, on his executing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each, in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to the following conditions: i. The applicant will not tamper with the evidence. ii. The applicant will not indulge in any criminal activity. iii. The applicant will not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses and co-operate in the trial. iv. The applicant will appear regularly on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless his personal appearance is exempted through counsel by the court concerned. 8. In the event of breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the court below will be at liberty to proceed to cancel his bail. Order Date :- 16.5.2025 v.k.updh.
