Learned counsel for applicant has submitted that the present applicant has been falsely implicated in this case as he has not committed any offence as alleged in the prosecution story so narrated in the First Information Report (in short F.I.R.). 4. At the very outset, learned counsel for the applicant has shown the copies of bail orders granted by this Court in favour of the co-accused persons, namely, Ruby, Jagannu @ Jagnu, Bablu, Atul and another, Chhoti Munni and Rohit, vide order dated 25.04.2025 passed in Criminal Misc.

The role of the present applicant is absolutely identical with the co-accused persons to whom this Court has granted bail. Therefore, on the basis of principles of parity, the present applicant may also be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that in the F.I.R. no specific role has been attributed to the present applicant as general role has been attributed to the present applicant and other accused persons, who have been granted bail. The charge-sheet has been filed. The present applicant is having no prior criminal history of any kind whatsoever. He undertakes on behalf of the present applicant that he shall co- operate in the trial proceedings properly and shall not misuse the liberty of bail, if so granted and shall abide by all terms and conditions of bail order. 6. So far as the ground of parity has been pleaded, learned Additional Government Advocate could not dispute. However, he has submitted that the culpability of the present applicant in the commission of offence along with other co-accused persons has been found, therefore, the present applicant is not entitled to be released on bail, however, the direction may be issued to expedite the trial. 7. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the material available on record; considering the fact that no specific role has been attributed to the present applicant as general role has been attributed to the present applicant and other accused persons, who have been granted bail; the present applicant is having no prior criminal history of any kind whatsoever and the undertaking that he shall co-operate in the trial proceedings properly and shall not misuse the liberty of bail and shall abide by all terms and conditions of bail order; the fact that the aforesaid co-accused persons have been granted bail by this Court vide orders dated 25.04.2025, 01.05.2025, 06.05.2025, 14.05.2025, 23.05.2025 and 30.05.2025 (supra), without expressing any opinion on merits of the issue, I am of the view that the present applicant may be released on bail in this case. 8. Accordingly, the instant bail application is allowed. 9.
