Submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioners:

4. Learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner/accused No.12 in Criminal Petition No.6503 of 2025 submitted that there are no allegations against the petitioner to connect him with the present crime. The prosecution has not attributed any role against the petitioner either in the complaint or in the remand case diary. The only allegation levelled against him is that he has supported the other accused and the petitioner was not present at the scene of offence. Hence, the ingredients under Section 103 of the BNS are not attracted against the petitioner. He further submitted that the deceased is a rowdy sheeter and a rowdy sheet was opened against him in Falaknama Police Station and the same is continuing. The petitioner is ready and willing to cooperate with the investigation and also abide by the conditions, which are going to be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner/accused No.12.

5. Learned counsel for the petitioner/accused No.11 in Criminal Petition No.6503 of 2025 submitted that the petitioner has not committed any offence and he was falsely implicated in the present crime only basing upon the alleged confession statement given by accused No.9. He further submitted that the only allegation levelled against the petitioner is that he has given moral support to accused Nos.1 to 10 that if they commit the offence, he will take care of their respective families and bring them out on bail. There is no piece of evidence to connect the petitioner in the present crime. Hence, he prayed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner/accused No.
