ORDER
03.09.2026
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 C.T. Case No. 205 of 2026 pending on the file of learned J.M.F.C.-V, Bhubaneswar, arising out of Khandagiri P.S. Case No.0071 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 332(c)/ 115(2)/ 118(1)/ 117(2)/ 324(4)/ 109/ 303(2)/ 296/ 351(2)/ 3(5) of B.N.S., 2023 and U/s- 25(1)(a) Arms Act.
3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail in view of the criminal antecedents of the Petitioner which runs thus:-
i) Khandagiri P.S. Case No.242/20I9, registered U/S-363IPC
ii) Chandaka P.S. Case No.I48/2017 registered U/s-294/323/341/354/506/34 IPC
iii) Bharatpur P.S. Case No.219//2024, registered U/s-341/324/307/34 IPC
iv) Bharatpur P.S. Case No.26I//2022, registered U/s.457/380/34 IPC.”
4. Taking into account the nature of allegations and keeping in view the criminal antecedents of the Petitioner, this Court is not inclined to grant the exceptional remedy of pre-arrest bail to the Petitioner. However, in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the learned Court in seisin in the aforesaid case 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.
(V. NARASINGH)
