1. The substantive prayer made in the petition reads thus: ‘It is therefore, most respectfully prayed that the present petition may kindly be allowed and the relief of regular bail may kindly be granted to the petitioner in case FIR No.237 dated 7.7.2025 under Sections 118(1), 115, 190, 191(3), 351(2) of BNS, 2023, registered at Police Station Kunjpura, District Karnal (Annexure P-1), in the interest of justice.’

2. At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that the petitioners are indeed seeking bail in the cross-version bearing GD No.13 dated 1.8.2025 registered at Police Station Kunjpura, District Karnal, but inadvertently, in the prayer made in the petition, bail has been sought for in the FIR case. Learned counsel has iterated that the petitioners (herein) are actually from the complainant-side in the said FIR and they are seeking bail in the GD case.

3. Keeping in view the totality of the factual milieu of the case in hand, especially the petitioners being in custody and the present petition is for grant of regular bail, oral request of learned counsel for the petitioners is accepted.

4. The case set up in the GD No.13 dated 1.8.2025 in question (as set out in the present petition by the petitioners) is as follows:-
