The present application is filed seeking regular bail in Crime No.654/2025 for the offence punishable under Sections 387, 342, 294, 506, 120-B and 326 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Sections 39 and 44 of the Maharashtra Money Lending (Regulation) Act, Sections 143 (1)(a)(f) and 143(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Sections 18 and 19 of the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994, registered with Police Station Bramhapuri, District Chandrapur.

3.

This Court, has already granted bail to three accused persons for the same crime. The present applicant is also standing on the same footing. The counsel for the applicant submits that

the applicant deserve to be granted bail on the ground of parity.

4.

The learned A.P.P. has conceded the fact that the accused persons who have been granted bail by this Court are similarly situated to the present applicant. The only difference is that the informant had taken loan from the present applicant of Rs.90,000/- and the informant has repaid Rs.3,60,000/- with interest. Only figure of amount differs. The applicant was arrested on 17/12/2025. Therefore, for the reasons recorded in the order dated 26/02/2026 in the case of Pradip S/o Rambhau Bawankule, Criminal Application [B.A.] No.175/2026 and order dated 12/02/2026, in the case of Laxman Pundalik Urkude, in Criminal Application [B.A.] No.92/2026. I am also inclined to grant bail to the present applicant on imposing same terms and conditions. Hence, the following order:-
