support the prosecution story. Copy of statement of complainant is annexed as Annexure P-2. Petitioner is in custody since 20.6.2018. Counsel for the petitioner further states that co-accused of the petitioner namely Ajay has been granted the concession of regular bail vide order dated 27.5.2019, passed by this Court in CRM-M-23418-2019, therefore, treating the case of the petitioner on parity, he also deserves to be enlarged on regular bail. Conclusion of trial may take a long time, as on date, only three prosecution witnesses are stated to have been examined. No useful purpose would be served by detaining him in jail.

Consequently, petitioner Vikram Singh @ Vicky, is ordered to be released on bail pending trial, if not required in any other case, on his furnishing adequate bail bond and surety bonds to the satisfaction of trial Court/Duty Magistrate, concerned.
