Holding
The court held that the applicant is entitled to bail on the ground of parity.
Summary
The applicant, Jamku @ Jamlesh @ Vimlesh, applied for bail in a criminal case (Crime No.56 of 2026) under Section 103(1) of the B.N.S. while the trial was pending. The court noted that a co-accused, Parwati Alias Sadawati, had already been released on bail in a similar case by a coordinate bench of the same court. Without delving into the merits of the case, the court found that the applicant had made out a prima facie case for bail. Accordingly, bail was granted on the ground of parity, subject to a personal bond and two sureties, and conditions not to tamper with evidence or intimidate witnesses. The order emphasized that any breach of conditions would lead to cancellation of bail and that the observations would not affect the trial on merits.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the applicant under Section 103(1) B.N.S. during the pendency of trial, considering the parity principle with a co-accused already released on bail.
