Heard learned counsel for the accused-applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

Learned counsel for accused-applicant while pressing the bail application submits that the accused-applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case as well as in the two cases mentioned in the gang chart. In both cases mentioned in the gang chart, he has been released on bail. The bail order are on record as Annexure No.3 to the bail application. Apart from the cases mentioned in the gang chart, there is criminal history of eight cases which is explained in para 7 of the bail application. He submits that co-accused Dilshad has been enlarged on bail by the learned Sessions Judge vide order dated 06.02.2024 passed in Bail Application No.197/2024. Applicant claims parity with the bail order of Dilshad.

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer and has submitted that Dilshad was having only one case in the gang chart therefore, it is not a case of parity.
