Parity with co-accused -- Regular bail -- Petitioner has undergone more than 05 years of incarceration -- Nothing has been recovered from the petitioner – Case fixed for recording statement u/s 313 Cr.P.C -- Keeping in view the total custody period of the petitioner without meaning anything on the merits of the case and the situation arising out of pandemic COVID-19, Court deemed appropriate to enlarge the petitioner on regular bail at par with other co-accused who have already been granted regular bail -- Petition allowed.
