2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner is in custody since
28.04.2026. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that co-ac- cused Madan, who was an absconder, was also arrested and has been granted the benefit of bail by the learned Trial Court vide its
order dated 25.02.2026. Learned counsel for the petitioner sub- mits that merely on account of length of the custody, the bail ap- plication of the petitioner has been rejected. Learned counsel for
[2026:RJ-JP:24150] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-8831/2026] the petitioner submits that case of the petitioner is on no lesser footing than that of the co-accused Madan except the length of the custody which cannot be a ground for denying the benefit of bail. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the bail appli- cation
4. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particu- larly that, the co-accused, Madan, who was arrested much later after the registration of the case, has been enlarged on bail, this Court deems it appropriate that to maintain parity,4 the bail appli- cation of the petitioner deserves to be accepted. 6. Consequently, the bail application is allowed. It is ordered that the accused-petitioner namely Aarif S/o Saheeda, arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.174/2014, Police Station Jurhera, Dis- trict Deeg, shall be released on bail; provided he furnishes a per- sonal bond of Rs.2,00,000/ (Rs. Two Lakh Only) with two sureties of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rs. One Lakh Only) each, to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court, with the stipulation that he shall appear before the said Court on all dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so until completion of the trial, subject to the following conditions: (i) The petitioner shall not leave country without the per- mission of the Court; (ii) The petitioner shall not commit any offence similar to the offence of which he is accused, or suspected, of the commission of which he is suspected; (iii) The petitioner shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person ac- quainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him
[2026:RJ-JP:24150] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-8831/2026] from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. (iv) In the event the petitioner is found involved in any other similar offence in the future, the prosecution shall be at liberty to move an appropriate application before the learned trial Court for cancellation of the bail granted therein.
(v) Further, the petitioner shall mark his presence before the concerned Police Station once every month on such date as may be fixed by the Investigating Officer. The In- vestigating Officer shall maintain a register for recording the petitioner's attendance. (BIPIN GUPTA),J 66/KRATIKA
