Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J.

¶4

Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record.

¶5

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is not named in the FIR. He has not been arrested from the spot. Complicity of the applicant has been shown in the confessional statement of co-accused Sanjay Pandey who has been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 27.08.2024 passed in criminal misc. bail application No. 9075 of 2024. Learned counsel for the applicant seeks parity with the order of the coaccused Sanjay Pandey.

¶6

It is further submitted that the applicant is languishing in jail since 07.08.2024 without having any criminal antecedent. There is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶7

Learned AGA has opposed the bail application, however, could not dispute the fact it is a case of parity.

¶8

On due consideration to the fact that offenecs are triable by magistrate; co-accused Sanjay Pandey in whose statement complicity of the applicant was surfaced has been enlarged on bail, coupled with the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 07.08.2024 without having any criminal antecedent and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail on the

¶9

ground of parity.

¶10

Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
