Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the applicant's service has already been terminated in the year 2017; that the applicant has no criminal history and that the similarly situate persons have already been granted anticipatory bail, I am of the view that the applicant is also entitled to be granted anticipatory bail in the present case on the ground of parity. 8.

In the event of arrest/ appearance of applicant- Amit Sony @ Amit Soni before the learned Trial Court in the aforesaid complaint case, he shall be released on anticipatory bail on his furnishing personal bond and two solvent sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of Court concerned on the following conditions and subject to any other conditions that may be fixed by the Trial Court: (i).
