¶1Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. and perused the record.

¶2It is argued by the Counsel for the applicant that two co-accused Said Ali and Izharul Haque have been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated

10.10.2023 and 06.11.2023 respectively. The allegations against the applicant are similar to to-accused Said Ali and the applicant has no criminal antecedents. He further argues that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail on the ground of parity.

¶3Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the bail prayer.

¶4Considering the fact that on similar allegations, the co-accused Said Ali has been enlarged on bail, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail on he ground of parity. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
