Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the facts that the applicant is not named in the F.I.R. and the similarly situated co-accused Bablu has been granted bail by this Court without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail on the ground of parity in the aforesaid crime. 14.
