The Goa court has granted bail to the Luthra brothers in a case concerning a nightclub forgery linked to a non-compliant NOC. Lead defense counsel Advocate Parag Rao presented his side of the story during the hearing.

The defense argued that the brothers were never issued a valid NOC, which would preclude them from having forged the document. This position formed the basis of their bail application and challenged the prosecution's evidence. Legal experts noted that the lack of a proper NOC undermines the prosecution's ability to prove forgery.
