A copy of the acquittal order has been brought on record as Annexure S.A.-1 to the supplementary affidavit. I have considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties as well as perused the record. On due consideration of the bail order passed in favour of co-accused Ankit Singh by coordinate Bench of this Court, the role assigned by the injured to the applicant as well as to the said co-accused, and the fact that the applicant is in jail since 15.09.2025; and further considering that the applicant has explained his criminal history of seven cases in paragraph 20 of the bail application as well as in the supplementary affidavit, 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.
