CRM-M-20528 of 2015 (O&M) On the other hand, learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI Suresh Singh, submits that case of the present petitioner is distinguishable from the cases of his abovesaid coaccused. He prays for dismissal of the present petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, after careful perusal of the record of the case and giving thoughtful consideration to the rival contentions raised, this Court is of the considered opinion that in the given fact situation of the present case, petitioner has been found identically placed with his abovesaid co-accused, who have already been granted the concession of bail pending trial. Further, despite having made his best efforts, learned counsel for the State could not distinguish the case of the present petitioner from that of his abovesaid co-accused.
In view of the above and without commenting anything further on the merits of the case, lest it should prejudice the rights of either of the parties, present petition is allowed. Petitioner is directed to be released on bail pending trial, on his furnishing adequate bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial court/Duty Magistrate, Sonepat.
Disposed of, accordingly.
