of <h1>Grant of regular bail: parity with co-accused required; similar allegations merit equal treatment and release on bail.</h1> Grant of regular bail where allegations against an applicant are substantially similar to co-accused requires parity in treatment; unexplained divergent ... Grant of regular bail - Parity with co-accused - Discriminatory or inconsistent treatment in bail orders - Discretionary exercise of judicial discretion on bail - HELD THAT:- Though the allegations against the petitioner herein are almost similar with those against the co-accused, who have already been released on bail, there is not even a whisper in the impugned order as to why the petitioner herein deserves a different treatment. Taking into consideration the nature of allegation and similarity of the nature of allegation against the petitioner herein and the other co-accused, who have been granted bail, we are inclined to allow this petition. The petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with Sessions Trial, to the satisfaction of the Trial Court. Issues: Whether the petitioner is entitled to regular bail despite an earlier rejection by the same Judge, where co-accused facing substantially similar allegations have been granted bail.Analysis: The petition challenged the impugned order which rejected the petitioner's bail application solely on the ground that an earlier application by the petitioner before the same Judge had been rejected. Two co-accused with almost identical allegations had been granted regular bail by separate orders. The reasoning in the impugned order did not explain why the petitioner should receive different treatment despite the similarity of allegations and prior grants of bail to co-accused. Applying the principle of parity with co-accused and taking into account the nature and similarity of the allegations, the petitioner was found entitled to the same relief as the co-accused.Conclusion: The petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 259/2022, subject to the satisfaction of the Trial Court.
