Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present crime.

Bail Application No. 43265 of 2022. Accordingly, the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity. It is also submitted that there is no apprehension that after being released on bail, he may flee from the course of law or may, otherwise, misuse the liberty of bail and the applicant is in jail since 24.08.2022 and the possibility of conclusion of trial in near future is very bleak.
