3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail, inter alia, on the ground that the injured has suffered multiple injury on the vital part though categorized as simple.
4. Learned counsel for the Petitioners submits that keeping in view the omnibus nature of allegation, Petitioners may be protected by pre-arrest bail.
5. Considering the nature of allegation and the role ascribed, this Court is not inclined to entertain the application for pre-arrest bail in respect of Petitioner Nos.1 and 2. However, it is directed that Petitioner Nos.1 and 2 may surrender before the learned S.D.J.M., Bhawanipatna in connection with the aforementioned case within one month from today.

6. On being so moved, the higher forum is requested to make an endeavor to dispose of the bail application of the Petitioner Nos.1 and 2 on the same day.
The case diary shall be made available to the concerned courts to facilitate disposal of the bail application of the Petitioner Nos.1 and 2 and learned S.D.J.M., Bhawanipatna is called upon to transmit the case record to the higher forum at the earliest in the event of rejection of such bail application.
Ground of parity, if any, may be considered by the learned court(s) below.
7.

8. Violation of any of the above condition(s) shall entail cancellation of bail.
