¶6

Supplementary affidavit filed by the learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record.

¶7

Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Bhanu Pratap Singh, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

¶8

This is second bail application filed by the applicant in F.I.R. No. 11 of 2020, under Sections 304, 325, 323, 504, 506 I.P.C., Police Station Jaidpur, District Barabanki with the prayer to enlarge him on bail.

¶9

The submissions of learned counsel for the applicant are that the applicant is innocent person and has been falsely implicated in the case, he is having no previous criminal history and in jail since 16.01.2020. The case of the applicant is similar to co-accused Sanjeet and Jyoti Prakash, who have been enlarged on bail by this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 6573 of 2023 and 1940 of 2024. The bail orders of co-accused Sanjeet and Jyoti Prakash are annexed as SA 2 & 3 to the supplementary affidavit. 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.

¶10

Shri Bhanu Pratap Singh, learned A.G.A. opposes the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant, but fairly concedes that similarly situated co-accused Sanjeet and Jyoti Prakash have already been granted bail.

¶11

Considering the rival submissions of learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A., ground of parity with the coaccused and going through the material available on record as well as totality of fact and circumstances, I am of the view that it is a fit case for bail. Application stands allowed on the ground of parity.
