According to the learned counsel for the applicant, the present applicant is entitled to be released on bail on parity. Reliance is placed on an order dated 25-8-2009 passed in criminal Application Nos. 3702/09 and 3729/09. The submission is that the role attributed to the present applicant is similar to the one which is attributed to the applicant in the above referred applications with the only exception that the present applicant is 2 named in the FIR as the person who had visited the house of the complainant. Whereas in regard to the other similarly situated applicant, there is no mention of their names in the FIR. That by itself does not make any difference. The learned counsel for the applicant has placed on record orders passed by the Supreme Court to contend that Sudhir Karnataki has been granted interim anticipatory bail and that Deepak Mankar is also directed to be released on bail pending consideration of the SLP filed by him in the Supreme Court. According to the learned APP there is no dispute that the present applicant is similarly situated with the applicants in the criminal applications referred to hereinabove. The orders are taken on record. As the present applicant is similarly situated with the applicants, in Cri. Application Nos. 3702 and 3729 of 2009, I deem it appropriate to release the present applicants on bail. 3. In the result the application is allowed. The applicant shall be released on bail on executing personal bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one or two solvent sureties in the like amount. The applicant shall attend Khadak police station, in Charge of Crime No.150/09 once a week on every Saturday in between 4 to 6 p.m. till filing of the charge sheet or for a period of two months whichever is earlier.
