It is contention of learned counsel for the Applicants that Applicants are behind bars more than two years. There is no progress in the trial. The co-accused, having similar allegations, have been released on bail. Hence Applicants are entitled for bail on the principle of parity. 6.
It is contention of learned APP that the Applicants and coaccused robbed the vehicle of the first informant's courier company and took away gold and silver ornaments from it.
