Should be Parnara bada probably dsf with poorly defined markings.
Parnara have shorter antenna, a thicker club & a short apiculus which sometimes not visible.
P. mathias almost always with a HW cellspot. longer antennal with gradual club & apiculus.

Parnara bada; FW with spot 3 equidistant from spot 2 & 4.
HW typically with a spot 6. Spots 2 - 5 usually small & rounded.

Parnara ganga FW spot 3 typically nearer spot 2 & farther from spot 4. A small lower cellspot may be present.
HW almost always without a spot 6. Spots 2 - 5 tend to be larger & conjoined.

Neptis nata adipala.
FW submarginal spots distinctly bent in at apex.
FW posdiscal spots rounded & well separated.
HW discal white band of uniform width.

Similar.
FW submarginal spots strongly bent in at apex.
FW postdiscal spots larger & closer together.
HW white discal band widens toward the costa (upper margin).

Sir, would this be Seseria sambara?

Seseria dohertyi.
The two species can be very confusingly difficult.
Seseria sambara.
FW with the discal spot in space 1b typically narrow & notched/excavate on the outer margin.
FW white patch in space 1a (on the lower margin) obsolete in wsf or weak narrow & sullie4d.
HW upper end of white band in space 7 narrower or about equal in width to the outer postdiscal black spot.

Seseria dohertyi.
FW with the white spot in space 1b with a straighter outer margin.
White patch in space 1a typically prominent & wide.
HW upper end of white band in space 7 wide, 1.5 to 2.5 X wider than the outer black postdiscal spot.

S. dohertyi is much commoner.
Intermediates occur.
Many misID'ed as S. sambara.

Sir, is this Neptis nata adipala or N. capnodes pandoces?

This should be Neptis capnodes.
The markings appear identical to N. nata but larger.
FW with submarginal spots curved in at apex.
FW postdiscal spots larger & closer; likewise the two subapical spots.
HW discal band expanding slightly upwards.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/lim1/720170010.html
The differences are slight but consistent.

Thank you, sir. That's what I thought.
Sir, is this Ypthima avanta?
