Bail Application Nos. 28149 of 2018, 26075 of 2018 & 25951 of 2018 respectively and the case of the applicant stands on identical footing, hence the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity.

Bail orders of aforesaid co-accused have been annexed collectively as annexure-5 at page 61 to 66 of the bail application.
