Mr.Patil further submitted that the material against the applicant is that he has been identified in the Test Identification Parade and there is recovery of property at his instance. He has submitted that as far as co-accused Pratap Gaikwad is concerned, the said accused had also been identified in the TIP and there is also recovery of property at his instance. Thus, he submitted that the case of the applicant is similar to that of co-accused Pratap Gaikwad who has been released on bail by this Court. 6. Being confronted with this, Mr.Konde-Deshmukh, learned APP, could not and did not dispute the submissions of Mr.Patil.
