The applicant, by way of this successive application filed under Section 483 of the Code of B.N.S.S., seeks regular bail in connection with the FIR being C.R.

Jamnagar, for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 307, 325, 324, 504, 143, 144, 147, 148, 149, 506(2) and 323 of the Indian Penal Code Section 135(1) of G.P. Act. 3. It is the submission of learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is in judicial custody since 2019 and p. 1 R/CR.MA/3392/2026 ORDER DATED: 20/02/2026 presently, the U.T.P. custody period is 6 years and more. He further submitted that similarly situated accused have been granted bail by this court and therefore, on the principle of parity, the prayer made by the applicant may be considered. 4. Learned APP has opposed the bail application contending that, the matter is pending before the trial court and most of the material witnesses being examined by the prosecution and therefore, instead of granting bail, let the order for expeditious trial may be passed. 5. Having heard learned advocates for the respective parties and upon perusal of material placed on record, it appears that, the chargesheet for the aforesaid offences came to be filed against eight accused persons for the alleged murder, occurred on 25.12.2019. It is not in dispute that, the custody period of the applicant is 6 years and more and till date, there are no possibilities of conclusion of trial in near future. The co-accused having similar role, is being considered by this court. In such circumstances, without entering into the merits of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on regular bail.
