The present bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant in Case Crime/FIR No.856 of 2019, under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 307, 323, 364 I.P.C. and Section 7 of Criminal Law Amendment Act, Police Station- Kotwali Nagar, District- Sultanpur, with the prayer to enlarge him on bail.

¶8

Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant is innocent person and has been falsely implicated in the case and in jail since 28.08.2019. He further submitted that the applicant is implicated in one case but the opposite parties have shown that the applicant is implicated in two cases. He further submitted that co-accused, namely, Akram has already been granted bail by Co-ordinate Bench this Court, vide order dated 23.04.2024 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.9135 of 2023. In these circumstances, the applicant is also entitled for bail. In case of being enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶9

During course of arguments, learned counsel for the applicant placed before this Court a photocopy of bail order of coaccused, namely, Akram is taken on record.

¶10

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant but has fairly conceded that similarly situated coaccused, namely, Akram has already been granted bail.

¶11

Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. and going through the record as well as order of co-accused, this Court is of the view that it is a fit case for bail. The bail application is allowed on the ground of parity.
