Bail Application Nos. 35514 of 2015 and 25786 of 2018, since the role of the applicant is not distinguishable with the role of co-accused, therefore, the applicant is also entitled for bail.

The applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case. There is no possibility to get this case decided in short period in future. Offences levelled against the applicants are not attracted in the present case. There is no independent witness and no legal evidence against the applicants. They are languishing in jail since 4.11.2014 (near about four year and one month) having no previous criminal history and in case they are released on bail, they will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in trial.
