Regular bail granted on parity with connected FIR, similar custody position, and non-opposition by the State.

Regular bail was granted in an IPC case where the petitioner relied on identical allegations in a connected FIR in which bail had already been allowed. The court noted that the custody position and stage of trial were similar to the connected matter, and the State did not oppose the request. On that basis, bail was ordered subject to furnishing bail and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial court or Duty Magistrate concerned.
