ORDER
20.08.2026
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.132 of 2026 pending on the file of learned SDJM, Athagarh, arising out of Khuntuni P.S. Case No.47 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Section 274/ 275/ 61(2)/ 111(2)/ 3(5) of The BNS, 2023 r/w Sec. 52 of The Orissa Excise Act, 2008.
3. The allegation against the present Petitioner is of preparation of illegal ID liquor.
4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the Petitioner that because of his antecedent he has been falsely implicated in the case at hand. Hence, he may be protected by pre-arrest bail.
5. Such submission is opposed by learned counsel for the State, since investigation is at a nascent stage.
6. Considering the nature of allegation and the manner of implication, 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 not more than two criminal antecedents of any nature.
7. If it comes to the fore that the Petitioner has more than two criminal antecedents of any nature, this order shall not be given effect to.
8. It is needless to state that the Petitioner shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
9. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. U.C.C. as per rules.
