1. BAIL APPLN. 1822/2026 and BAIL APPLN. 2460/2026 are both showing in the cause list as relating to the very same FIR. However, Mr. Tarang Srivastava, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, states that, although the FIRs have the same number [FIR No. 103/2025] and were registered at the same Police Station [Special Cell, Delhi], they are, in fact, unrelated, and are in respect of different offences altogether. BAIL APPLN. 1822/2026 arises out of an FIR which was registered on 30.03.2025, under Section 18 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, whereas BAIL APPLN. 2460/2026 arises out of an e-FIR of the same number registered on 12.10.2025, under 318(4)/319/340 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

3. Additionally, learned Standing Counsel (Criminal), Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi [“GNCTD”] is requested to take up the matter with the concerned authorities, to consider whether it is appropriate to avoid duplication of FIR numbers in the same police station, so that confusion is eliminated at all levels. The Registry is directed to forward a copy of this order to learned Standing Counsel (Criminal), GNCTD.
4. By way of this application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the applicant seeks regular bail in connection with FIR No. 103/2025 [60000448/2025] dated 12.10.2025, lodged at Police Station Special Cell, Delhi, under Sections 318(4)/319/340 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
