Ms. Nisha Bora, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. Sandeep Sharma, learned AGA for the State. 3. Present applicant–Asif S/o Shri Shakeel is seeking regular bail in relation to first information report dated 04.04.2025 bearing FIR No. 0003 of 2025, Police Station Baluwakot, District Pithoragarh, wherein the present applicant along with three persons have been implicated for the offences punishable under Sections 179 and 180 of the B.N.S. Act, 2023. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the present applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated. She submits that the alleged counterfeit currency, which was shown to be recovered from the present applicant, is planted one and there is no independent witness of the recovery and the applicant has no previous criminal history. 5. Apart from this, learned counsel for the applicant submits that the other co- accused, namely, Waseem Khan and Sameer Ul Rahman have already been granted bail by this Court and claims parity and the present applicant has no previous criminal history. 6. On the other side, Mr. Sandeep Sharma, learned AGA, has not disputed this fact that the other co-accused have already been granted bail by this Court and the present applicant has no previous criminal history and he also fairly submits that the applicant is also entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity. 7. After hearing the arguments as advanced by learned counsel for the parties and further taking into consideration that the applicant has no previous criminal history and the two co-accused have already been granted bail by this Court, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves for bail. 8. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, the present bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant, namely, Asif, be released on bail, on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
