¶8

The submissions of learned counsel for the applicant are that the applicant is innocent person and has been falsely implicated in the case and in jail since 27.10.2022. The case of the applicant is similar to co-accused Ashish Kumar Verma, who has been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 06.03.2024 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 2503 of 2024. 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

Photocopy of the bail order of co-accused Ashish Kumar Verma provided by the learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record.

¶10

Shri Rao Narendra Singh, learned A.G.A. opposes the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant, but fairly concedes that similarly situated co-accused Ashish Kumar Verma has already been granted bail.
