Heard learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned A.G.A. appearing for the State.
It is made out that a general role of assault is assigned to 25 to 30 men, besides the two nominated accused and the applicant is one of those nominated offenders. It is further made out that a general role has been assigned to the applicant and the group of 25 to 30 assailants with no specific role assigned. It is next made out that co-accused Afjal has been admitted to bail by Hon'ble Ajit Singh, J. vide order dated 19.02.2021, passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.10935 of 2021, and that the applicant is entitled to bail on the foot of parity. It has been asserted in paragraph No.15 of the affidavit that the applicant has no criminal history and is in jail since 11.01.2021.
Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of allegations, the gravity of the offence, the severity of punishment, the evidence appearing in the case, in particular, the fact that the applicant is not nominated in the FIR, the fact that there is a general role assigned to him with no specific allegations, the fact that similarly circumstanced co-accused Afjal has been admitted to bail by this Court, the fact that the applicant has no criminal history, but without expressing any opinion on merits, this Court, finds it to be a fit case for bail.
The bail application, accordingly, stands allowed.
