Hon'ble Siddharth,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.
By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in Case Crime No. 270 of 2017, under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 506, 120-B I.P.C., P.S.
Bidhuna, District- Auraiya and is in jail since 23.02.2018, is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that similarly placed co-accuseds, Rajeev, Mahaveer Yadav and Ravindra Singh Yadav, have already been enlarged on bail by this Court by orders dated 26.07.2018, 16.01.2018 and 15.05.2018 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 27986 of 2018, 49624 of 2017 and 18028 of 2018. He further submitted that since the role of the applicant is identical to that of co-accuseds, Rajeev, Mahaveer Yadav and Ravindra Singh Yadav, who have 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.
Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A., this Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for grant of bail on the ground of parity.
In view of the above, let the applicant, Sumer Singh 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. 270 of 2017, under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 506, 120-B I.P.C., P.S.

3. He will not indulge in any illegal activities during the bail period.
It is further directed that the identity, status and residence proof of the sureties be verified by the authorities concerned before they are accepted.
In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the trial court will be at liberty to cancel the bail.
