¶14

Having gone through the charge-sheet and the relevant material collected by the IO during the investigation, I am of the opinion that the role attributed to the applicant is similar with the role

of co-accused Abhijit who has been granted bail by this Court. This Court while granting bail to Abhijit has categorically observed that though the offence is registered under section 149 of IPC, there is nothing to show that there was a common intention, to kill the deceased.

The learned APP is not disputing the fact as regards the similar role of the applicant and the co-accused Abhijit. In the circumstances, I pass the following order:
