     CORAM:HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ILESH J. VORA

                               Date : 20/02/2026

                                ORAL ORDER

1.       Rule. Learned APP waives service of notice of Rule for and

         on behalf of the respondent – State.


2.       The applicant, by way of this successive application filed

         under Section 483 of the Code of B.N.S.S., seeks regular

         bail in connection with the FIR being C.R. No.I-218 of

         2019 registered with City “B” Division Police Station,

         Dist.     Jamnagar,    for the offences punishable under

         Sections 302, 307, 325, 324, 504, 143, 144, 147, 148,

         149, 506(2) and 323 of the Indian Penal Code Section

         135(1) of G.P. Act.


3.       It is the submission of learned counsel for the applicant

         that the applicant is in judicial custody since 2019 and


                                   Page 1 of 4
     R/CR.MA/3392/2026                                      ORDER DATED: 20/02/2026




        presently, the U.T.P. custody period is 6 years and more.

        He further submitted that similarly situated accused have

        been granted bail by this court and therefore, on the

        principle of parity, the prayer made by the applicant may

        be considered.


4.      Learned APP has opposed the bail application contending

        that, the matter is pending before the trial court and most

        of    the        material   witnesses       being   examined         by       the

        prosecution and therefore, instead of granting bail, let the

        order for expeditious trial may be passed.


5.      Having heard learned advocates for the respective parties

        and upon perusal of material placed on record, it appears

        that, the chargesheet for the aforesaid offences came to be

        filed against eight accused persons for the alleged murder,

        occurred on 25.12.2019. It is not in dispute that, the

        custody period of the applicant is 6 years and more and till

        date, there are no possibilities of conclusion of trial in near

        future. The co-accused having similar role, is being

        considered by this court. In such circumstances, without

        entering into the merits of the case, I am inclined to

        enlarge the applicant on regular bail.

6. Hence, the bail application is allowed and the applicant is

  ordered to be released on regular bail in connection with

  the FIR being C.R. No.I-218 of 2019 registered with

  City “B” Division Police Station, Dist. Jamnagar, on
