Hon'ble Siddharth,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.
By means of this application, the applicant, Ramesh Bhuj, who is involved in Case Crime No. 0061 of 2022, under Section 8/20 of N.D.P.S. Act, P.S. Hallia, District Mirzapur and is in jail since 22.04.2022, is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.

Bail Application No. 22673 of 2022. He has further submitted that since the role of the applicant is identical to that of co-accused, Gautam Kumar, who has already been enlarged on bail, he is also entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity.
The prayer for bail has vehemently been opposed by learned A.G.A.
Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A., this Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for grant of bail on the ground of parity.
