Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has only been arrested on the basis of CCTV footage, wherein, the applicant is alleged to be kicking from behind the injured. Though, he doubts the veracity of the CCTV footage even then he argues that charges under Section 109 BNS could not be framed against the applicant. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the co-accused Bhola @ Shivam has been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 15.10.2025, hence the applicant also deserves to be released on bail on parity.

Learned counsel appearing for the State fairly admits the above position.

In view of the above, but, without expressing any opinion about merits of the case before the Trial Court, this Court is of the view that this is a fit case for bail.

The bail application is thus, allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each of the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Court concerned.
