ORDER
18.08.2026
01.
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.904 of 2026 pending on the file of learned S.D.J.M., Khurda arising out of Industrial Estate P.S. Case No.203 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 126(2) / 115(2) / 118(2) / 109 / 3(5) of BNS, 2023.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel that the basis of implication is on account of the co- accused statement and the injuries suffered are simple in nature and the Petitioners are not the named accused. Hence, they may be protected by pre-arrest bail.
4. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail during the currency of investigation.
5. Taking into account the nature of allegations and the punishment prescribed, this Court directs that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioners 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 the injury.
If it comes to the fore that the Petitioners have any criminal antecedent and the injured has suffered any grievous injury, this order shall not be given effect to.
6. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
7. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
(V. NARASINGH)
