It has been contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that the co- accused Vinjay Kumar @ Karu having similar role has been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 18.07.2018 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 18196 of 2018 a copy of said order has been produced by the learned counsel for the applicant, which is taken on record and the case of the applicant stands on identical footing, hence the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity. The applicant is in jail since 17.03.2018.
Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid fact as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant.
Having heard the submissions of learned counsel of both sides, larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and the dictum of Apex Court in the case of Dataram Singh v.
