The applicants along with eleven accused were convicted under Section 302 and 307 of Indian Penal Code. The applicants are now seeking bail. It is the prosecution case that there was a dispute in relation to contract of Tendu leaves. On account of this dispute, about 51 persons assaulted Parshuram and Moreshwar with sticks. The applicants were among those persons. The learned counsel for the applicants submitted that four of the other co-accused i.e. Sou. Mayabai, Premilabai and Sou. Kamlabai (original accused Nos. 11, 12 and 13) and Nandkishor (original 2 accused No. 1) have been granted bail by this Court by order dated 18.01.2011 and 04.05.2011 respectively. He submitted that the role attributed to the present applicants is the same as that attributed to Sou. Premilabai, Mayabai, Kamlabai and Nandkishor. Hence, he has prayed that bail be granted to them on the ground of parity. It is not controverted by the prosecution that the role of the present applicants is similar to that of original accused Nos. 1 and 11 to 13. Considering these facts, we are inclined to grant bail. Hence, the following order. a) The sentence of imprisonment imposed on the applicants is suspended. b) The applicants be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- on furnishing Personal Bond and surety in the like amount. c) They shall attend Chamorshi Police Station once in a month till disposal of the appeal.
