the applicant's house is at a distance of 2 1/2 kilometers from the place of occurrence and in between the said distance, there are number of general stores, thus it is quite possible that the accused persons might had purchased the acid from any other general store shop and that the accused persons have not named the applicant that they had purchased the acid from the applicant's shop. Learned counsel further argued that in the absence of any credible evidence available in the case diary to demonstrate that the applicant had sold the acid to the accused Mohammad Arif, ergo, the entire prosecution story stands falsifies. Learned counsel has next argued that the similarly situated co-accused namely, Irfan Ahmad has already been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 11.10.2023 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 43216 of 2023, copy of which order has been produced before this Court and is taken on record. It is thus argued that the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false implication of the accused have also been mentioned. It has also been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever required and is also ready to accept all the conditions which the Court may deem fit to impose upon him. He next submits that applicant is languishing in jail since 09.08.2023, having no criminal history.
