The first bail application bearing Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.12141 of 2022 was rejected by this court by means of an order dated 12.12.2022 by observing that the main role of assault on the head of the deceased has been assigned to the applicant. The second and the third bail applications were rejected on the ground that no new ground had been pressed in those bail applications. 3.

together. 4. In the affidavit filed in support of bail application it has been stated that the applicant is innocent, he has been falsely implicated in the present case and he has no criminal history. The applicant is languishing in jail since 16.10.2021. 5. The learned Additional Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the State has opposed the prayer for bail but he could not dispute the aforesaid aspects of the matter. 6.
Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail for more than four years; that the applicant has no previous criminal history; that the PW-1 has assigned similar roles to all the accused persons and all the other co-accused persons have already been granted bail and without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid crime. 7. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 8.
