Shri P.R. Agrawal, learned counsel for the applicant submits that he has been falsely implicated in the alleged offence. He further submits that considering the allegations made in the FIR custodial interrogation of the applicant is not necessary. He lastly argues that all other accused persons have already been released on bail and as such, the applicant is entitled for grant of bail on parity. 3.

On the other hand, Shri V.A. Thakre, learned APP strongly opposes the present application. rkn

I have perused the Case Diary and the FIR.

5.

The FIR, in the present matter came to be lodged in view of the directions issued, vide order dated 07/01/2020 passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Yavatmal.

6.

In this case, the applicant is the accused No.9, and except the applicant all other accused persons have been released by granting pre-arrest bail. Thus, according to me since the role of the applicant is not different than the role of the other co-accused persons, the applicant is entitled for parity. Accordingly, I pass the following order: i) The criminal application is allowed.

ii) The order dated 17/06/2022 is confirmed.
