Learned counsel for the applicant submits that he made an attempt to serve notice upon Shri Ajay Kumar Pal, learned counsel for the first informant. However, he has refused to acknowledge the notice. In such circumstances, the Court has left no option, but to fix a date in the present case. Let, the case appear as fresh on 9.9.2025. It is made clear that if learned counsel for the first informant does not appear on the next date fixed, the Court would proceed with the case, even in the absence of learned counsel for the first informant."

The applicant is not named in the F.I.R.. His complicity along with named accused Nikki, Chhote Fauji, Babbal Chaudhary and Sachin came into light in the statement of Moola alias Chandrapal Singh. He next submits that co-accused Nitin Kumar alias Nikki has been granted bail by the coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 27.08.2025 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 23233 of 2025 and the case of the applicant stands on better footing to that of co- accused Nitin Kumar alias Nikki, hence the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity.
