Supplementary affidavit filed today is taken on record.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.
The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Ravi, with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 343 of 2018, under section 8/20 of N.D.P.S. Act, 1985, Police Station - Greater Noida, District- Gautam Budh Nagar, during pendency of trial.
Learned counsel for the applicant has contended that the co-accused, Manoj, has been granted bail by this Court on 4.4.2019 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.13932 of 2019. The case of the applicant stands on identical footing, hence the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity. The applicant is languishing in jail since 29.12.2018. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail, but does not dispute the claim of parity.
