HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J.

¶8

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

¶9

Learned counsel for accused-applicant, while pressing the bail application, submits that in the gang chart, three cases have been shown against the applicant. In all the cases, applicant has already been enlarged on bail. The bail order is on record as Annexure Nos. 3, 4 and 5 to the bail application. Apart from the cases mentioned in the gang chart, applicant has criminal history of two more cases. In both the case also applicant has been granted bail and in this regard specific pleadings have been made in para 6 of the bail application. The bail orders are on record as Annexure Nos. 6 and 7 to the bail application.

¶10

It is submitted that co-accused Amritlal has already been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 06.11.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 10185 of 2025. Applicant seeks parity with the bail order of co-accused.

¶11

It has been further submitted that applicant is in jail since 02.09.2025 and, if facility of bail is granted, there is no apprehension that he will flee from the judicial process and he will abide by the orders passed by the Court below and will co-operate in speedy trial of the case.

¶12

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but has not disputed the factual submissions made by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant.

¶13

On due consideration of the facts that the applicant has been languishing in jail since 02.09.2025, in the cases mentioned in the gang chart, he is on bail and has explained the criminal history, so also the bail order of the co-accused Amritlal, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail on the ground of parity.

¶14

Accordingly, the bail application is allowed on the ground of parity.
