Hon'ble Vivek Kumar Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that similarly placed co-accused Rajnesh has already been enlarged on bail by this Court by order dated 11.10.2018 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 39548 of 2018, a copy of the said order has been produced by learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record. He further submitted that since the role of the applicant is identical to that of co-accused Rajnesh who has already been enlarged on bail, he is also entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity.
The prayer for bail has vehemently been opposed by learned A.G.A. However, the aforesaid factual aspect of the matter has not been disputed by him.
Having heard the submissions of learned counsel of both sides, nature of accusation and the severity of punishment in case of conviction and the nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment, and larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India, the dictum of Apex Court in the case of Dataram Singh v. State of U.P. and another, reported in (2018) 2 SCC 22 and without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I find it to be a case of bail.
In view of the above, let the applicant, Pawan Yadav be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned in Case Crime No. 767 of 2018, under Sections 307, 420 I.P.C. and Section 60/63/72 Excise Act, P.S.
