2. At the outset, learned counsel for Directorate of Enforcement submits

that since co-accused persons namely Pravez Khan, Suraj Shat, Neeraj

Chauhan, Rajesh Kumar and Lovee Narula have already been granted bail

by this court and that order has not been challenged by DoE, so on grounds

of parity, the present accused/applicant also may be granted regular bail.

3. Accordingly, in view of detailed factual and legal matrix explained in

the orders granting bail to above named co-accused persons, both these bail

applications are allowed and both the accused/applicants are directed to be

released on bail subject to each of them furnishing a personal bond in the

sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with one surety each in the like amount to the

satisfaction of the trial court and also subject to the condition that the

accused/applicants shall not leave India without obtaining permission from

the trial court.

4. Copy of this order be immediately transmitted to the concerned Jail

Superintendent for being conveyed to the accused/applicants.
