Learned advocate for the applicant would submit that considering the role attributed to the applicant, and nature of the allegation levelled, the applicant may be enlarged on regular bail. It is further submitted that since the charge- sheet is filed no useful purpose would be served by keeping the applicant in jail for indefinite period. It is further contended that the applicant is ready and willing to abide by all the conditions that may be imposed by this Court if released on bail. 5. As against the same, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent – State has vehemently objected to the grant of regular bail. Learned APP has submitted that looking to the nature of offence and the role attributed to the present applicant as coming out from the charge-sheet, this Court may not exercise the discretion in favour of the applicant and the application may be dismissed. 6. I have heard learned advocates appearing on behalf of the respective parties and perused the papers. Following aspects are considered:- R/CR.MA/7866/2026 ORDER DATED: 08/04/2026 i. The allegation being that the accused had defrauded the complainant and other persons by promising them visa of various countries and taking substantial amounts from them and neither providing the visa as promised nor returning back the money in question. ii. The present applicant appears to be a partner in the firm in question whereas the other partner being one Jaimin Patel. iii. It also appears that vide order dated 31.07.2025, a learned Coordinate Bench of this Court in Criminal Misc. Application No.15236/2025 has enlarged the said co- accused. iv. Considering the fact that the role attributed to the present applicant and the role attributed to the co-accused appears to be substantially similar, more particularly as noticed, both of them being partners in the firm and the co- accused having been granted regular bail by learned Coordinate Bench, the present applicant would be entitled to the benefit of parity. This Court has taken into consideration the law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Sanjay R/CR.MA/7866/2026 ORDER DATED: 08/04/2026 Chandra v.
