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 C.T. Case No.442 of 2026 pending on the file of learned J.M.F.C., Jaleswar, arising out of Jaleswar P.S. Case No.361 of 2026, for commission of offences punishable under Sections 297/318(4)/3(5) of BNS.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the allegation has been made against the Petitioner only because he is the house owner and it is submitted that the co-accused with graver complicity have been released on pre-arrest bail by this Court by order dated 14.07.2026 in ABLAPL No.7646 of 2026 and by order dated 22.07.2026 in ABLAPL No.7989 of 2026 and hence, on the ground of parity the Petitioner may be protected by pre-arrest bail.
4. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.
5. Considering the nature of allegation and release of the accused, it is directed 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 not more than one criminal antecedent of similar nature.
6. If it comes to the fore that the Petitioner has more than one criminal antecedent of similar nature, this order shall not be given effect to.
7. It is needless to state that the Petitioner shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
8. The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
