Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.

This is an application under section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in connection with G.R. Case No.430 of 2019 arising out of Gop P.S. Case No.258 of 2019 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Konark for alleged commission of offences under sections 457/380/354/506/509/323/

// 2 // 324/307/341/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Perused the F.I.R.

Considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the case arises out of a complaint case, which was forwarded under section 156(3) of Cr.P.C. to the Inspector in-charge of Gop police station and accordingly, the P.S. case was registered and there are no such materials against the petitioners so as to attract the ingredients of the offence under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and on hearing the learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the aforesaid case, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that they shall make themselves available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and they shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to the Investigating Officer.

Violation of any of the above conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.

// 3 // The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
