The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. Aniket Vagal for the Applicant Ms A.T. Javeri, APP, for the Respondent-State CORAM: P.D. KODE, J.

DATED: JANUARY 22, 2015.

P.C:

1.

Heard. For the detailed reasons recorded in the order dated 5.1.2015 co-accused i.e. charge-sheeted accused No.2 has been granted bail. The perusal of the charge-sheet annexed with the application does not reveal that the case of the Applicant stands on higher pedestal than of the said co-accused who was granted bail. In view of the same on the ground of parity the application for bail deserves to be allowed on similar terms and conditions.

2.

Resultantly, the application is allowed. The Applicant is directed to be released on bail in Crime No.4 of 2014 registered with R.C.F. Police Station on furnishing the P. R. Bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) with one or two sureties to make up like amount and subject to conditions that after his release the Megha 1 of 2
