The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner along with the co-accused persons, was member of an unlawful assembly and being armed with deadly weapon, wearing the police uniform riding a motorcycle went to weighbridge of B & K Area, Jarangdih Siding created panic by opening 2-3 rounds of firing in the air by claiming themselves to be the men of an extremist organization namely New Sasastra People’s Morcha (NSPM) and damaged Hywa vehicle by firing upon the vehicles from firearms and pasted posters of NSPM and used criminal force against the public servant deterring them from discharging their duty.

It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 08.09.2025 as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 14 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the one of the co-accused has been given the privilege of anticipatory bail and some of the co-accused persons have already been admitted to bail. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail on the principle of parity.
