DATE : 6 th May, 2009 Heard Shri Dharaskar, Advocate for applicant and Shri Mandpe, APP for state. The applicant is seeking bail on the ground of parity. The other accused namely Jitendra was directed to be released on bail by this court by order dated on 5.3.2009, wherein it is observed: “I have seen the reply i.e. filed by the prosecution today. Perusal of the reply particularly paragraph No.3 shows that the applicant has not played any overt act by assaulting any of the persons including the deceased. The only allegation against him is that while the scuffle was going on in the hotel, he had held hand of complainant. There is nothing beyond this. Hence I make the following order.” Learned APP is unable to show that the case of the applicant is distinguishable from that of the accused - Jitendra who was directed to be released on bail by this court. Hence similar order: Applicant be released on PRB in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in the like amount. The applicant shall attend the P.S. Rajapeth, Amravati on first Sunday of each month at 11,00 a.m. Until further orders or till the trial is over. He shall also attend the trial regularly. Application stands disposed of. JUDGE smp
