Hon'ble Shekhar Kumar Yadav,J.

¶6

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

¶7

2.This is second bail application of the applicant. The first bail application of the applicant bearing no 1045 of 2024 was dismissed on 15.1.2025 as not pressed with liberty to file fresh bail application.

¶8

3.This second bail application under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed by the applicant seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 372 of 2024, under Sections 323, 504, 506, 452, 308, 304, 34 IPC, Police Station Saraimeer, District Azamgarh.

¶9

4.Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It has further been submitted that there are 13 accused including the applicant. There is general allegation against all accused person. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant. The applicant is in jail since 1.7.2024.

¶10

5.It is further contended that similarly placed co-accused Abhishek, Radhey Shyam, Vinay and Avinash have already been granted bail by this court vide orders dated 15.1.2025, 3.1.2025, 6.1.2025 and 16.12.2024 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 1045 of 2025, 43286 of 2024, 45362 of 2024 and 44935 of 2024 respectively, therefore the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity.

¶11

6.I have perused the bail order of the co-accused and find that the role assigned to the present applicant is almost similar to that of co-accused person, who has already been granted bail by this Court.

¶12

7.On the other hand, learned A.G.A. opposes the application for

¶13

bail.

¶14

8.Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties, perusal of record and considering the complicity of accused, severity of punishment as well as totality of facts and circumstances, at this stage without commenting on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case for bail.

¶15

9.Let the applicant Ajay, who is involved in aforementioned case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions. Further, before issuing the release order, the sureties be verified.
