1.

The petitioner claims parity citing an order dated August 14, 2024, passed in CRM (DB) 2026 of 2024, whereby a co-accused person was enlarged on bail. He says that he stands on the same footing as that person. He prays for bail.

2.

While opposing the prayer for bail, learned State Counsel and learned Counsel for the defacto complainant, in their usual fairness, do not dispute that this petitioner and the co-accused person, who has been enlarged on bail, as mentioned above, are similarly circumstanced.
