    The High Court of Gujarat granted regular bail to applicant Gokulbhai Chitharbhai Karmatiya in a case involving allegations under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Gujarat Money Lending Act, finding the FIR prima facie appeared to be an abuse of process. The court noted critical gaps in the prosecution's case: the registered sale deed from 2018 contained no mention of being security for a loan, the property was sold in 2021 but the complaint filed only in 2026 (four-year delay), and no civil suit was filed despite the dispute. The applicant was released on bail of Rs. 25,000 with conditions including monthly police reporting and restriction on leaving Gujarat. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
