Heard Mr.Mundargi, learned counsel for the applicant and Ms.Mhatre, learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. This is the second application for being released on bail in C.R.No.I-171 of 2008 of Nasik Road police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and six others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under section 302, 452, 364, 323, 504, 506 r/w 34 of IPC. The earlier application filed by the applicant was rejected on merits on 18.10.2008. It appears that thereafter on 8th December, 2008 and on 6th March, 2009, two accused, namely, Taslima Shakil Shaikh and Jafar Mohammad Shaikh have been released on bail in criminal application No.4269 of 2008 and 696 of 2009 respectively. Mr.Mundargi, learned :2: :2: :2: counsel for the applicant submits that there is no difference in role assigned to the present applicant and the co-accused Taslima Shaikh and Jafar Shaikh. All the three accused allegedly participated in alleged incident but there are no specific allegations made against them. In view thereof he submitted that the present applicant is entitled for bail on parity. This submission of Mr.Mundargi has not been disputed by learned A.P.P. Having regard thereto, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence the following order: . The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Saturday between 9 and 10 am till conclusion of the trial. The cash bail for a period of 15 days is allowed. The application is disposed of. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order. :3: :3: :3: (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
