Of Home Lko Counsel for Applicant :- Arvind Kumar Tiwari Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the accused-applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. A supplementary affidavit filed by learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record. Learned counsel for accused-applicant while pressing the bail application submits that the accused-applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case as well as in three cases mentioned in the gang chart. In those three cases, he has been released on bail. The bail orders are on record as Annexure No. 3 to 5 to the bail application. Apart from the cases mentioned in the gang chart, there are 18 other cases of trivial nature pending against the accused applicant. He has explained criminal history of those 18 cases in the supplementary affidavit. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the co-accused Naresh @ Ramnaresh Sonkar, Nanku @ Lala @ Ram Kumar and Nanke who were assigned the similar role have been enlarged on bail by this Court vide orders dated 02.07.2025, 17.06.2025 and 16.06.2025 passed in criminal misc. bail application Nos. 5934 of 2025, 5424 of 2025 and 5378 of 2025. Learned counsel for the applicant seeks parity with the order of the co-accused. It has been further submitted that applicant is in jail since 30.05.2025 and if facility of bail is granted, there is no apprehension that he will flee from the judicial process and he will abide by the orders passed by the Court below and will co- operate in speedy trial of the case. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but has not disputed the factual submissions made by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant. On due consideration to the fact that in three cases mentioned in the gang chart, he has been enlarged on bail; apart from those three cases, there are 18 cases against the applicant which has been explained in the supplementary affidavit; co-accused Naresh @ Ramnaresh Sonkar, Nanku @ Lala @ Ram Kumar and Nanke as well as considering the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 30.5.2025 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed on the ground of parity. Let the applicant, Sonu, involved in Case Crime No.23 of 2025 under Section 3(1) U.P.
