This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode).

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he does not want to press this application so far as petitioner no.1 Tunia Aka @ Pramod Kumar Choudhury is concerned. The ABLAPL so far as petitioner no.1 stands disposed of as not pressed.

Heard the 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 petitioner no.2 Krishna Choudhury in connection with Lalbag P.S. Case No.36 of 2022 corresponding to G.R. Case No.216 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M. (Sadar), Cuttack for commission of alleged offences under sections 341/323/

// 2 // 294/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Perused the F.I.R. annexed to the anticipatory bail application.

Considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner no.2 that the offences are triable by Magistrate and the only non-bailable offence is one under section 506 of the Indian Penal Code and on hearing the learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioner no.2 Krishna Choudhury on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioner no.2 in connection with the aforesaid case, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that he shall make himself available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and he 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 any facts to the Courts or to the Investigating Officer.

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

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

Issue urgent certified copy as per Rules.
