ORDER
27.08.2026
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.153 of 2023 pending on the file of learned J.M.F.C(R), Balasore, arising out of Khantapada P.S. Case No.49 of 2023 for commission of offences punishable under Section 395 of IPC.
3. It is submitted by learned counsel for the Petitioner that, the FIR is unknown and the basis of implication is on account of the statement of the co- accused and the Petitioner does not have any criminal antecedent. Hence, the Petitioner may be protected by pre-arrest bail.
4. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.
5. Taking into account the nature of allegations, this Court directs that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioner 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 Petitioner has any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to.
7. It is needless to state that the Petitioner shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
8. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
U.C.C. as per rules.
