...Respondent

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUDHIR MITTAL

Present:

Mr. Dhanvinder Singh Nigha, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Anupam Bansal, Addl. P.P., UT, Chandigarh. ***** SUDHIR MITTAL, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks regular bail in FIR No.217, dated 22.12.2022, registered at Police Station Sector 39, U.T., Chandigarh, under Section 379-A IPC (Section 411 & 34 IPC subsequently added). 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that co-accused Arun has been granted regular bail by this Court vide order dated 24.04.2023 passed in CRM-M-18791-2023. Said co-accused is identically situated as the petitioner and thus, the petitioner may be granted the same concession.

3.

Learned counsel for UT, Chandigarh concedes that the allegations against the petitioner are similar to those made against coaccused Arun. 4.

Thus, keeping in view the principle of parity, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is allowed. He is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned.
