01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
2. The Petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with T.R. Case No.294 of 2026 pending in the Court of learned ASJ-Cum-Special Judge under POCSO Act, Bhubaneswar, arising out of Airport P.S. Case No.188 of 2026 for commission of offence punishable under Sections 127(2), 137(2), 64(2)(m), 296, 115(2), 351(2), 3(5) of BNS, 2023 read with Section-6 & Section-9 of The Protection of Children from Sexual Offence Act, 2012.
3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.
4. Taking into account the nature of allegations and statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of BNSS, this Court is not inclined to entertain the application for pre-arrest bail. However, in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the learned Court in seisin and moves an application for his release on bail, the same shall be considered on its own merit.
5. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. U.C.C. as per rules.
