2. The case of the prosecution is that on 12.04.2026, the de facto complainant received a message over phone that there was a wordy quarrel between his sons and other unknown persons. It is alleged that unknown persons assaulted the de facto complainant's sons with knife and weapons. Due to which, the son of de facto complainant died. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that there are about 10 accused in this case. The petitioner herein has been incarcerated since 13.04.2026. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays to grant bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent Police reiterated the prosecution's case and, upon instructions, submitted that this petitioner was arrested based upon the further statement given by the deceased's father.

5. At this juncture, the learned counsel for the petitioner invited the attention of this Court to the order passed in Crl.OP.No.12073 of 2026 in

7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, amd taking note of the submission made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side); this Court is of the firm view that the benefit of parity given to the other co-accused cannot be extended to this petitioner, as the petitioner is a named accused in the FIR.
