Hence, FIR has been lodged against the applicant and co-accused person. 4. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. It is further submits that there is no criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant and the charge-sheet has been filed in this case and co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court in MCRC No.10375 of 2025 vide order dated 08.01.2026. The applicant is in jail since 01.05.2025 and trial is likely to take quite long time for its conclusion, therefore, he prays for grant of bail on the ground of parity. 5. On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that there is no criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant, and the charge-sheet has been filed in this case.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused all of the
3 documents available on record. 7. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant and the fact that there is no any criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant, further more co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court in MCRC No.10375 of 2025 vide order dated
08.01.2026.
