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.1835 of 2026 pending on the file of learned S.D.J.M., Bhubaneswar, arising out of Capital P.S. Case No.592 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 3(5), 351(2) and 74 of BNS, 2023.
3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.
4. Taking into account the nature of allegations and the counter FIR, 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 under Section 74 of BNS.
If it comes to the fore that the Petitioner has criminal antecedent under Section 74 of BNS, this order shall not be given effect to.
5. It is needless to state that the Petitioner shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
6. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
