Mr. Ashok Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 04-01-2021 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Ashok Kumar, the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 489 of 2019 arising out of Mushari P.S. Case No. 17 of 2013 for the offence registered under Sections 341, 323, 307, 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is regarding the accused persons including the petitioner herein having assaulted the deceased father of the informant resulting in his subsequent death. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the present case and is having a clean antecedent. It is further submitted that other co-accused persons, similarly situated, have already been granted the privilege of bail vide order dated

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.82990 of 2019(7) dt.04-01-2021 2/2 02.12.2015, passed by a coordinate Bench of this Court in Criminal Misc. No. 49045 of 2015.

Per contra, the learned counsel for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into account the materials available on record as also considering the parity of the case of the petitioner with that of the other similarly situated co-accused persons, who have already been granted bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court, I deem it fit and proper to admit the petitioner to the privilege of regular bail.

Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.D.J.-1st, Muzaffarpur in connection with Sessions Trial No. 489 of 2019 arising out of Mushari P.S. Case No. 17 of 2013.
