Jati @ Jitu @ Jitendra Naik v. State Of Odisha

IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK

ABLAPL No.1268 of 2022 Jati @ Jitu @ Jitendra Naik.

....

Petitioner -versusState of Odisha ....

Opposite Party CORAM: JUSTICE S. PUJAHARI Order No.

ORDER

29.04.2022 02.

1.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid mode.

2.

The Petitioner apprehending his arrest in Buguda P.S. Case No.373 of 2021 registered for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 394 and 397 of IPC, has filed this petition for his release on pre-arrest bail. 3.

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

4.

It appears that the earlier prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner was rejected on merit by this Court vide order dated 15.11.2021 passed in ABLAPL No.13697 of 2021. 5.

Needless to say that this Court after scanning the materials available on record and looking into the nature of accusation and gravity of the offence, had refused to release the

// 2 // petitioner on pre-arrest bail vide the order passed in the aforesaid ABLAPL. Since then, there is no change in circumstances. Therefore, allowing this petition would tantamount to review of the earlier order passed without any apparent or cogent reason which is not permissible, more so when release of the co-accused on bail can hardly be a ground to review the earlier order of this Court. Hence, the prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner stands rejected. 6.

Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of being dismissed.

(S. Pujahari) Judge MRS
