When his son tried to escape, accused Babar made a fire shot at him which hit his abdomen, thereafter, other associates of Babar also opened fire at his son whereby he received three firearm injuries. It is argued by learned counsel for the applicant that as per medical examination report of injured-Shawez, he has received twelve injuries, in which injury No. 1 is in the nature of abraded contusion, injury Nos. 2 and 3 are red abrasion, injury Nos. 5 and 6 are red contusion, injury Nos. 4, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 are lacerated wound and injury No. 9 is in the nature of multiple abrasion and as per opinion of the doctor, said injuries were received by hard and blunt force. The injured was admitted in hospital on 04.04.2025 and he was discharged on the next date i.e. 05.04.2025. Referring the supplementary report, it is pointed out that injured has received firearm injuries in upper and lower abdomen, which have been attributed to co-accused Babar. It is also submitted that main role of fire shot has been attributed to co- accused Babar and general role of firing has been assigned to all the co-accused persons. Co-accused Dilshad, Faizan and Junaid have been granted bail by the Coordinate Bench of this Court vide common order dated 03.06.2025 in Criminal Misc.

Bail Application No. 16484 of 2025 and the case of present applicant stands on identical footing to that of aforesaid co- accused persons, hence the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. Lastly, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that there is no chance of the applicant of fleeing away from the judicial process or tampering with the prosecution evidence. The applicant is languishing in jail since 23.04.2025 and in case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and cooperate with the trial. Per contra, learned Additional Government Advocate opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant but could not dispute the above factual aspect of the matter as argued on behalf of the applicant. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and examined the matter in its entirety, I find substance in the submission of learned counsel for the applicant that co-accused Dilshad, Faizan, Junaid, Kallu, Junaid, Gufran, Zeeshan, Shadab, Samar and Amir under similar accusation have been granted bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as keeping in view the nature of the accusation, severity of punishment, evidence, complicity of the accused, this Court is of the opinion that prima facie the applicant has made out a case for bail on the ground of parity. Hence, the bail application is hereby allowed. Let the applicant-Jillu alias Islamuddin, be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number 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) That the applicant shall cooperate in the expeditious disposal of the trial and shall regularly attend the court unless inevitable.
