4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. Similarly situated coaccused persons, namely, Vishal Kumar and Bittu Kumar have also been granted pre-arrest bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide Annexure 2. He further submitted that petitioner has one criminal antecedent, in which the police has submitted final form against the petitioner. On these grounds, petitioner seeks to be released.

6. Considering the nature of allegation made in the FIR and also the fact that similarly situated co-accused persons have already been granted pre-arrest bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court, I am of the opinion that petitioner has, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.

The petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned District Court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate,
