Heard learned counsel for the appellant, the learned AGA for the State- respondent no.1, learned counsel for the respondent no.2 and perused the entire record. 3. Submission of learned counsel for the appellant is that the appellant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. The appellant has not committed any offence as alleged in the impugned FIR. Further submission is that the prosecution story is totally false and fabricated. There is no direct or indirect evidence against the appellant. Till date, only one witness has been examined and there is no possibility of early conclusion of trial, therefore, the appellant may be enlarged on bail. Further submission is that similarly placed co-accused, Vijendra Alias Rinku has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 27.08.2025 passed in Criminal Appeal No.3998 of 2025, copy of bail order has been placed on record. Further submission is that since the similarly placed co-accused has already been granted bail, the accused appellant is also entitled for bail on the ground of Versus Counsel for Appellant(s) : Abhijit Mishra, Vivek Tiwari Counsel for Respondent(s) : Devendra Singh, G.A., Gyan Chandra Patiram .....Appellant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Respondent(s) parity. Appellant is languishing in jail since 21.02.2024 having no previous criminal history.

On the other hand, learned A.G.A. as well as learned counsel for the informant vehemently opposed the the prayer for bail of the appellant. 5. I have perused the bail order of co-accused and find that the role assigned to the present appellant is almost similar to that of co-accused, who have already been enlarged on bail by this Court. 6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, role assigned to the present appellant and the nature of injury, this Court is of the view that the appellant has made out a case for grant of bail on the ground of parity. The Court below erred in rejecting the bail application of the appellant. The impugned order suffers from infirmity and illegality and the same is liable to be set-aside and the appeal is liable to be allowed. 7. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed and the impugned order rejecting the bail application of the appellant is hereby set-aside. 8.
