It is further argued that the co-accused, namely, Dharmendra and Anil Sharma has already been released on bail by the orders of this Court dated 10.3.2010 and 11.3.2010, respectively and the present applicant is also entitled for bail on the basis of parity. Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties; perusal of the contents of FIR and other papers available on record, without expressing any opinion as to the final merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves bail at this stage. Let the applicant-Krishanpal Sharma be released on bail on his executing personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haridwar. The bail application is allowed accordingly. (Dharam Veer, J.) 05.05.2010 RG
