1. This is a bail application U/S.483 of the BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Bharatpur P.S. Case No. 499 of 2024 corresponding to C.T. Case No. 76 of 2025 pending in the Court of learned 2nd Addl. Sessions Judge, Bhubaneswar, for commission of offence punishable U/Ss. 103(1)/238(a)/3(5) of BNS, on the main allegation of committing murder of the deceased Nabaghana Patasahani by stabbing him to death in a hotel room.
2. Heard Mr. Sanjaya Narayan Sahoo, learned counsel appearing virtually for the petitioner and Mr. T.K. Acharya, learned Addl. PP in the matter and perused the record.
3. After having considered the rival submissions upon perusal of record, there appears allegation against the petitioner for committing murder of the deceased by stabbing him to death and the PM report of the deceased reveals around 13 stab injuries on his person. No doubt, bail has been sought for to the petitioner on the ground of parity, but co-accused released on bail does not stand on similar footing, inasmuch as the allegation against the co- accused released on bail is primarily for disposing the dead body. In the aforesaid facts and situation and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the petitioner vis-à-vis the accusations sought to be brought against him and regard being had to the materials placed on record together with the recovery of the weapon of offence pursuant to the disclosure statement of the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A soft copy of this order be immediately forwarded to the court in seisin over the matter for reference.
