Ms. Neeti Rana, learned legal aid counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. Tumul Nainwal, learned AGA for the State. 3. Present applicant-Vikas, S/o Shri Prabhas is praying for bail in reference to a First Information Report dated 20.08.2025 bearing FIR No.0321 of 2025 registered at P.S. Bazpur, District Udham Singh Nagar wherein the present applicant alongwith one Raju have been implicated for the offences punishable under Sections 109(1), 3(5) of BNS, 2023. 4. It is argued by learned counsel for the applicant that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated and also claims parity of other co-accused Raju, who, as per the prosecution, is the main assailant and has been enlarged on bail on 19.11.2025. She further submits that only the role of catching hold has been assigned to the present applicant by the prosecution. She submits that the applicant has no previous criminal history and is languishing in jail since 10.11.2025. She further submits that now since the charge sheet has been filed as such there is no need of further custodial interrogation. 5. On the other hand Mr. Tumul Nainwal, learned AGA has not disputed that the main assailant Raju has been enlarged on bail by this Court on 19.11.2025 and fairly submits that since the only role of catching hold has been assigned to the present applicant, therefore, he is in a better footing and the benefit of parity can also be given to the present applicant. 6. After hearing the rival submission of learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration that the main accused Raju, who, as per the prosecution, is the main assailant, has been enlarged on bail by this Court on 19.11.2025 and only the role of catching hold is assigned to the present applicant, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves for bail. 7. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, the bail application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant-Vikas be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
