6. In the light of the said, the submission counsel for the applicant is that the applicant is being falsely implicated as the arrest memo and the version in the FIR and the statement of the witness are at huge variance. It is argued that Chandresh has been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 15.06.2022. 7. The learned AGA, on the other hand, opposes the bail application by arguing that a heinous offence was committed on a lay aged about 65 years and the villagers were present on the spot, thus, the bail application should be rejected. It is further argued that parity cannot be claimed with Chandresh. 8. Considering the said submissions, although, the allegations against Chandresh and applicant are different, as such, no case for parity is made out. However, in view of huge inconsistencies in the statements in the FIR and the statements under section 161 Cr.P.C. as well as the arrest memo, prima-facie a case for bail is made out more so when the applicant has no criminal history and is in custody since 25.02.2022, the applicant is entitled for the bail. Thus the bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant Brijlal Nishad be released on bail in aforesaid first information report number subject to his furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties of Rs.25000/-(Twenty Five Thousand) each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions: (a) The applicant shall execute a bond to undertake to attend the hearings; (b) The applicant shall not commit any offence similar to the offence of which he is accused or suspected of the commission; and (c) 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.
