ORDER
13.08.2026
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.788 of 2026 pending on the file of learned S.D.J.M., Nayagarh arising out of Nayagarh P.S. Case No.234 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 309(6) of BNS, 2023.
3. The allegation against the Petitioner is that on being threatened, the informant was forced to part with the password and on the basis of it an amount of Rs.9,000/- was transferred from his account and the Mobile Phone also snatched.
4. It is submitted by the learned counsel that the Petitioner is not a named accused and the basis of accusation is on account of the co-accused statement. Hence, the Petitioner may be protected by pre-arrest bail.
5. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail during the currency of the investigation.
6. Considering the nature of the allegations and the punishment prescribed, 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.
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.
