¶5

Heard Sri Shamimul Hasnain, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Utkarsh Narendra Gupta, learned counsel for the informant as well as learned A.G.A for the State and perused the record.

¶6

By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in Case Crime No. 438 of 2020, under Sections 304, 323, 504, 506 I.P.C., Police Station- Achhnera, District- Agra is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial. The applicant is in jail since 5.12.2020.

¶7

Contention raised by learned counsel for the applicant is that the present F.I.R. was got registered by one Ashiq Ali against four named accused persons. There was a minor scuffle between the parties, but fact remains that the deceased has died on account of myocardial infarction (cardiac arrest). It is contended that the said marpeet ever committed by the applicant would not lead to this myocardial infarction. Moreover, co-accused Gulfan and Sharafat have already been admitted on bail by the coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 27.1.2021 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 4272 of 2021. The case of the applicant stands on similar footing qua the aforesaid accused persons enlarged on bail. Therefore, the applicant, having no criminal antecedent to his credit, deserves to be enlarged on bail on the principals of parity.

¶8

Learned A.G.A opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts.

¶9

Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused and submissions of learned counsel for the parties, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail.
