ORDER
01.09.2026
02. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners, learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the Informant.
2. The Petitioners are seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.1058 of 2026 pending on the file of learned S.D.J.M., Khurda, arising out of Khurda Sadar P.S. Case No.374 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Section 109(1)/ 296/ 3(5)/ 351(2) of BNS.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioners that exaggerated allegations have been made. Hence, the Petitioners may be protected by pre-arrest bail.
4. Such submission is opposed by the learned counsel for the State as well as Informant, inter alia, on the ground that the investigation is in progress.
5. Considering that the injury has been categorized as simple and that the Petitioners do not have any criminal proclivity, as stated, this Court directs that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioners shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed just and proper subject to verification of criminal antecedent of similar nature.
6. If it comes to the fore that the Petitioners have any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to.
7. To allay the apprehension of the informant that the Petitioners may threaten him and his family, it is directed that Petitioners shall appear before the jurisdictional police station once every fortnight on such date and time to be fixed by the learned Court in seisin for the next three month or till submission of final form whichever is earlier. Certification of such appearance shall be submitted to the Court in seisin.
Violation of any of the condition shall entail cancellation.
8. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
9. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
10. U.C.C. as per rules.
