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.605 of 2026 pending on the file of learned S.D.J.M.(Sadar), Cuttack, arising out of Purighat P.S. Case No.250 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Section 115(2)/118(1)/126(2)/296/3(5)/351(2) of BNS.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioners that because of the counter FIR, the Petitioners have been falsely implicated in the case at hand and the injuries, if any, are simple in nature.
Hence, Petitioners 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 allegation and the submissions made, 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 similar nature.
6. If it comes to the fore that the Petitioners have any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to.
7. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
8. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
9. U.C.C. as per rules.
