the allegations raised are serious in nature and, thus, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of regular bail. He has further urged that the petitioner is not at parity with co-accused namely Deepak Thapa for the cause that he has only undergone only 1 month and 24 days in the present FIR. However, on a pointed query put up by this Court, it is not denied by the State counsel that the petitioner was arrested on 18.03.2025 qua the FIR in question. < State counsel has further urged that the petitioner has also antecedents. He seeks to place on record custody certificate dated 03.05.2026 in Court,
