The learned Advocate for the Applicant states that the Applicant who is a woman has been implicated as co-accused in an offence under Sections 304-B read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. The Applicant is claiming bail on the ground of parity. The claim for parity is based on orders passed by the Sessions Court in favour of the accused No.3 Harishchandra and another co-accused Rakesh. 3. On plain reading of the F.I.R. there is hardly any difference between the role ascribed to the applicant and the role ascribed to co-accused Rakesh. The learned A.P.P. on instructions states that the Applicant is entitled to relief on the ground of parity. A case is made out for enlarging the Applicant on bail. 4. Hence, I pass the following order : - 2 - i) The Applicant shall be enlarged on bail in connection with C.R.No.I-129 of 2005 registered with Khopoli Police Station, District Raigad subject to furnishing a personal bond of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand only) with one or two sureties in the like amount. ii) Bail is granted subject to the condition that the Applicant will remain present before the Investigating Officer on every Sunday between 4.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. till filing of the charge sheet and will co-operate for the purposes of investigation. iii) The Bail is granted subject to condition that the Applicant shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement or threat to any prosecution witnesses and shall not in any manner tamper with prosecution evidence. iv) The Applicant shall cooperate with the learned Trial Judge for expeditious disposal of the trial.
