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.660 of 2026 pending on the file of learned JMFC-IV, Bhubaneswar, arising out of Laxmisagar P.S. Case No.343 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 305/316(5) of BNS.
3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.

If it comes to the fore that the Petitioner has any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to.
