P.C. :

By this Application, the Applicant is seeking regular bail in Crime No. 817 of 2019 registered with Pimpri Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 364, 326, 504, 201, 34 of the Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') and under Sections 3(1) (i) (ii), 3(4) of MCOC Act.

It is prosecution's case that the Applicant and co-accused kidnapped the deceased in car and murdered him on the ground of quarrel.

4.

It is contention of learned counsel for the Applicant that coaccused - Sanjay Bhosale, having similar allegations, has been released on bail by this Court [N.R. Borkar, J.] and submits that applicant is entitled for bail on principle of parity and requested to allow the application. 5.

It is contention of learned APP for the State that Applicant and co-accused kidnapped the deceased in car and assaulted him with sharp weapon. If Applicant is released on bail, he may abscond or threaten the prosecution witnesses and requested to reject the application. 6.

I have heard both learned counsel. Perused charge-sheet and documents produced on record.

The co-accused, having similar allegations, has been released on bail by this Court. Hence, application is entitled for bail on principle of parity.
