Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 459 of 2018

Applicant :- Tarun Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Anurag Sharma Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.

Hon'ble Vivek Kumar Singh,J.

Heard Sri Anurag Sharma, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Ravi Singh Parihar, learned A.G.A. appearing for the State.

It has been contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that the coaccused Arun Singh ha been granted bail by another Bench of this Court on 7.3.2017 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.8537 of 2017, a copy of said order has been annexed as annexure-5 to the affidavit accompanying this bail application, hence the case of the applicant stands of identical footing, hence the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity. The applicant has no criminal history. The applicant is in jail.

Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail, but could not dispute the aforesaid fact as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant.

Considering the nature of accusation and the severity of punishment in case of conviction and the nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tempering of the witnesses and prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge the applicant is entitled to be released on bail in this case.
