1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).
2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Athagarh PS Case No.257 of 2026 corresponding to CT Case No.552 of 2026 pending in the file of learned SDJM, Athagarh for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 126(2)/ 115(2)/ 118(2)/ 324(1)/ 351(3) of BNS, on the main allegation of attacking the injured Sarbeswar Sahoo by means of a knife, along with co-accused persons in furtherance of their common intention.
3. Heard, Mr. Kaustuva Mohanty, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. M.R. Patra, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record.
4. No doubt the petitioner is having five criminal antecedents, but the petitioner is in custody since 16.06.2026 and in the meantime charge-sheet has already been submitted. Further, the injured has sustained one simple injury. Besides, co-accused persons standing on similar footing have already been given the benefit of bail pursuant to an order passed by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court in ABLAPL No.7786 of 2026. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances together with consideration of the materials placed on record including no materials being collected to suggest that the petitioner would abscond or pose threat to the witnesses, if released on bail and lastly, taking into account the inherent right of the accused to be presumed innocent until proven guilty at the trial, this Court without expressing any view on merit admits the petitioner to bail.
5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands allowed and the petitioner is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty-Five Thousand) only with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions except cash surety as deem fit and proper by it.
6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of.
7. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. A soft copy of this order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court, who shall afterwards communicate the same to the concerned Jail through e-mail for reference.
