ORDER

27.07.2022 02.

1.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode).

2.

Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners and the learned Additional Standing Counsel. Perused the records. 3.

This is an application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioners for anticipatory bail.

4.

Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. The materials collected are not sufficient to make out a case against the Petitioner. 5.

Considering the nature of allegations made, gravity of the offence and the fact of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioners. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioners surrender before the learned J.M.F.C., Laxmipur in G.R.Case No.554 of 2021 arising out of Laxmipur P.S.Case No.158 of 2021 within a period of three weeks from today

// 2 // and move for bail, they shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as would be deemed just and proper by the learned Magistrate and subject to verification of injury1with further conditions that the Petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall appear before the I.O. as and when required. He shall also not leave the jurisdiction of the court below without prior permission. 7.

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. ( A.K. Mohapatra ) Judge RKS
