In the affidavit filed in support of the anticipatory bail application, it has been stated that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. 5. The learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the co-accused Akbar Shah @ Akabar Shah, Jitendra Kumar and Mukesh Kumar have been granted interim anticipatory bail by means of orders dated NABAIL No. 1105 of 2026 2

The learned A.G.A. has opposed the anticipatory bail application and submitted that investigation in the case is still going on. 7. In response to the aforesaid objection, the learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant has apprehension of arrest and upon being given protection of anticipatory bail, the applicant will cooperate with the investigation. 8. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the allegation levels against the applicant are similar to those levelled against the co-accused, who have already been granted interim anticipatory bail and that the applicant has undertaken to cooperate in the investigation/trial, I am of the view that the applicant is also entitled to be granted anticipatory bail in the present case on the ground of parity.

In the event of arrest/ appearance of applicant- Bhupendra Singh before the learned Trial Court in the aforesaid case crime, he shall be released on bail on furnishing personal bond and two solvent sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of Court concerned on the following conditions and subject to any other conditions that may be fixed by the Trial Court: (i). that the applicant shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) that the applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence; (iii) that the applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the court.
