This is a bail application on behalf of the applicant in connection with Case Crime No.1000 of 2018, under Sections 406, 409, 420 and 120B IPC, P.S. Baradari, District Bareilly.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant was not named in the FIR and his name has surfaced during investigation. It is further submitted that similarly placed co-accused Krishna Nath Maurya @ Amit and Sandeep @ Chandeep Singh have already been enlarged on bail by another Bench of this Court by orders dated 7.6.2019 and 30.4.2019 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos.23727 of 2019 and 18050 of 2019, copy of the bail orders produced by learned counsel for the applicant are taken on record. He further submitted that since the role of the applicant is identical to that of co-accused Krishna Nath Maurya @ Amit and Sandeep @ Chandeep Singh who have already been enlarged on bail, he is also entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity. Lastly he submitted that the applicant is languishing in jail since 12.7.2018 and in case, he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in the trial.
Learned AGA has opposed the bail plea. However, learned A.G.A. does not dispute the factum of parity.
Considering the overall facts and circumstances, the nature of allegations, the gravity of offence, the severity of the punishment, the evidence appearing against the accused but without expressing any opinion on merits, this Court finds it to be a fit case for bail.
Accordingly, the bail application stands allowed.
