SL. No Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGES’S 2026:UHC:4375 BA1 No. 961 of 2026 Hon’ble Ashish Naithani, J. Mr. Vikash Anand, learned counsel for the Applicant. 2. Mr. Dinesh Chauhan, learned A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. 3. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 4. The present Bail Application has been moved by the Applicant, namely Mohd. Kasid, S/o Shri Mohd. Ismail, R/o Ward No. 08, Ambedkar Nagar, in front of State Bank, who is in judicial custody in connection with FIR No. 171 of 2025, registered at Police Station Sitarganj, District Udham Singh Nagar, for offences punishable under Sections 119(1) and 127(7) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 5. Learned counsel for the Applicant, while pressing the present bail application, submits that the Applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case and is in judicial custody since 09.06.2025. It is contended that there is no eye-witness to corroborate the prosecution story. Learned counsel for the Applicant further submits that the co-accused has already been granted bail by a Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 08.08.2025, and the case of the present Applicant stands on an identical footing to that of the said co-accused. Therefore, the Applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity. 6. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposed the bail application. However, he could not dispute the fact that the co- accused has already been enlarged on bail. 7. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the material available on record, this Court finds that the co- accused, whose case stands on a similar footing, has already been granted bail by this Court. The Applicant, therefore, appears to be entitled to the benefit of parity. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, and without expressing any opinion on the merits thereof, this Court is of the view that the Applicant has been able to make out a fit case for grant of bail. 8. Accordingly, the Bail Application is allowed. 9. Let the Applicant, namely Mohd. Kasid, be released on bail upon furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Court concerned. 10. It is made clear that any observation made hereinabove is only for the purpose of adjudication of the present bail application and shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case. 11. All pending applications, if any, shall stand disposed of. (Ashish Naithani, J.) 02.06.2026 Shiksha
