This matter is taken up through video conferencing mode.

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

This is an application under section 438 of Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in connection with Khandapada P.S. Case No.12 of 2014 corresponding to G.R. Case No.27 of 2014 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Khandapada for commission of the alleged offences punishable under sections 341, 323, 294, 506, 354, 376, 511/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 3 (1)(x)(xi) of the S.C. & S.T. (PoA) Act.

// 2 // Perused the first information report annexed to the anticipatory bail application.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners earlier approached this Court in CRLMC No. 2547 of 2017 which has been dismissed as per order dated 06.01.2022 and in the meantime charge sheet has been submitted.

Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the respective parties and the nature of accusation against the petitioners, while not inclining to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, it is observed that in the event the petitioners surrender and move for bail in the Court below within a period of four weeks from today the same shall be disposed of by the learned Courts below in accordance with law expeditiously. The case records shall be made available to the Courts concerned for disposal of the bail application. The ABLAPL stands disposed of.

Parties may utilize the soft copy of this order available in the High Court's website or print out thereof at par with certified copy in the manner prescribed vide office order dated 7th January 2022.
