Contention of learned counsel for the applicant is that applicant is father-in-law of Rajni, who is missing for a long time as there was a dispute between Rajni and her husband, Shyam and in the F.I.R. itself, the allegation is against Shyam and applicant has been implicated merely because he is father of Shyam. It is further submitted that co-accused persons, Rajkumari @ Sarvesh Kumari, Awanesh, Geeta and Ram Urf Ramu have already been enlarged on bail by coordinate Benches of this Court vide orders dated 08.08.2024, 04.03.2025, 04.12.2023 and 30.04.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 10275 of 2024, 23148 of 2024, 47734 of 2023 and 23164 of 2024 respectively and, therefore, the applicant is also entitled to be released on bail on the ground of parity. It is also submitted that applicant has no criminal antecedents to his credit. It is also submitted that the charge-sheet has already been filed. Therefore, there is no requirement of custodial interrogation. The applicant is languishing in jail since 20.10.2023. In case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate in the trial proceedings. 4. Per contra, learned counsel for the informant and learned A.G.A. have vehemently opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the fact that applicant has parity with the co- accused persons who have already been released on bail. 5. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the nature of offence, evidence, complicity of accused and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity. 6.
