Having heard learned counsels for the parties and after perusal of material placed on record, it transpires that 8 persons are named including the present applicant and the allegation of assaulting with knife is against all the persons and it could not be identified that on whose blow, the injured received injuries. The statement of the victim itself is enough to show that he could not identify that who assaulted him with knife. He next submits that the applicant is a law abiding citizen and is languishing in jail since 16.03.2025. He submits that the applicant has no previous criminal history as is mentioned in paragraph no. 20 of the affidavit filed in support of the bail application; prima facie, there is no cogent piece of evidence against the applicant so as to connect him with the offence; the co-accused Neeraj has already been granted bail coupled with the fact that the applicant has undertaken that in case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of same and would cooperate in the trial proceedings. Considering the submissions of learned counsels for the parties, nature of accusation and severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment and considering larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case of bail on the ground of parity.
