Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 27.12.2024.

Bail Application No. 21278 of 2025. A copy of bail order has been produced by learned counsel for the applicant, which is taken on record. He further submitted that since the role of the applicant is identical to that of co-accused, Rajveer, who has already been enlarged on bail, he is also entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity. He has no criminal antecedent and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for. 4. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. 5. Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. 6. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 7.
