Without expression of any opinion on merits of this case, it is sufficient to observe that challan has already been presented; co-accused of the petitioner has been granted the concession of bail. Though the allegations against the petitioner are serious but adopting the principle of parity, the petitioner can be granted the concession of bail. Petition is allowed. Petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/ surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court. October 20, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
