The present bail application has been filed for enlarging the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.183 of 2017, under Sections 409, 120-B, 411 I.P.C., Police Station Khorabar, District Gorakhpur.

It is further submitted that co- accused, namely, Ajay Prajapati, Raman Chandra Pandey @ Prince Pandey and Santosh Shukla, having identical role, have already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 08.05.2017 passed in Crl. Misc. Nos.32947, 43388 and 42469 of 2017 respectively. Accordingly, the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity. It is lastly submitted that the applicant has no other criminal history to his credit and he is languishing in jail since 17.03.2017.
Learned A.G.A. has, however, opposed the prayer for bail to the applicant but admitted the fact that co-accused, namely, Ajay Prajapati, Raman Chandra Pandey @ Prince Pandey and Santosh Shukla, having identical role, have already been granted bail by this Court.
