ORDER
19.08.2026
02. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners and learned counsel for the State.
2. The Petitioners are seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.592 of 2026 pending on the file of learned S.D.J.M., Balangir, arising out of Puintala P.S. Case No.102 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 126(2)/ 296/ 115(2)/ 109(1)/ 3(5) of BNS.
3. At the outset, learned counsel for the Petitioners submits that he does not want to press the ABLAPL in respect of Petitioner No.1 (Sourava Ranjan Patel).
4. Accordingly, the ABLAPL in respect of Petitioner No.1 (Sourava Ranjan Patel) stands disposed of as not pressed. As such, the ABLAPL is confined to Petitioner Nos.2 & 3.
5. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioners that the injury suffered is simple and the Petitioner Nos.2 & 3 does not have any criminal antecedent.
6. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.
7. Taking into account the nature of allegations, it is directed that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioner Nos.2 & 3 (Sonal Ranjan Patel & Akshaya @ Akhya Kalsai) respectively 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 any nature and the nature of injury.
8. If it comes to the fore that the Petitioner Nos.2 & 3 have any criminal antecedent and the injured has suffered any grievous injury, this order shall not be given effect to in respect of the said Petitioner Nos.2 & 3.
9. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
10. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
