Hon'ble Om Prakash-VII,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A for the State and perused the record.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that co-accused Indal has been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 28.7.2017 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 27198 of 2017. He further submits that since the role of the applicant is not distinguishable with the role of co-accused, therefore, the applicant is also entitled for bail.
