He further submitted that after considering entire facts of the case in detail, co-accused Vijay Patel @ Mangal has been released on bail by this Court vide order dated 23.01.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 40561 of 2024 and on facts, case of applicant is at par with him. 4. He further submits, however, apart from the present case applicant is having criminal history of four other cases but his criminal history has been explained in the instant bail application and it appears, in all the cases police implicated him like present one. He further submits, in the present matter applicant is in jail since 15.09.2024. 5. Per contra, learned AGA however, opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the argument on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 7. Considering the argument advanced by learned counsel for the applicant and the fact that similarly placed co-accused Vijay Patel @ Mangal has already been released on bail by this Court and criminal history of four cases of applicant has been explained in the instant bail application and in the present matter he is in jail since 15.09.2024, in my view applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 8. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant- Pintu Pasi be released on bail in the aforesaid case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall appear before the trial court on the dates fixed, unless his personal presence is exempted.
