Hence, it is prayed that the applicant be released on anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel for the State had opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.
Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. This bail application has been argued on the ground of parity with the bail order passed under M.Cr.C. No.43521/2023 in favour of Yogesh Rajput. The act of present applicant is not graver then the allegations made against the co- accused Yogesh Rajput whose bail application is allowed for the reason mentioned in the order.
Thus, applying the principles of parity, this bail application is allowed.
It is directed that in the event of arrest of applicant by the police in the aforesaid crime, he shall be released on bail on his furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer (Investigating Officer) for his regular appearance before the Police/Arresting Officer during the investigation or before the Court during trial.
It is directed that the applicant shall abide by the conditions enumerated under Section 438(2) of Cr.P.C., failing which this order shall automatically stand cancelled without further reference to the Court.
Accordingly, the M.Cr.C stands allowed and disposed of.
