Today when the petition came up for hearing, the learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the learned Magistrate had granted bail to accused Nos.6, 9, 10 and 13 in Crime No.57 of 2009, which is a connected and identical case. If that is so, there is no good reason to reject the bail to the petitioner. But the learned counsel could not produce the order. 3. In the above circumstance the petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to seek bail before the learned Magistrate, who shall dispose of the application on merits in the light of the above said order.
