ORDER
17.08.2026
01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
2. The Petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.1289 of 2026 pending on the file of learned S.D.J.M., Sundargarh, arising out of Sundargarh Talsara P.S. Case No.214 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Section 74/126(2)/296/115(2)/303(2)/333/324/351(2)/3(5) of BNS.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that being aggrieved by the complaint which was registered as a G.D. entry, the Petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case at hand. Hence, the Petitioner 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 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 of similar nature.
6. If it comes to the fore that the Petitioner has any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to.
7. It is needless to state that the Petitioner shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
8. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
9. U.C.C. as per rules.
