16.03.2022 01.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical 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 Badambadi P.S. Case No.47 of 2022 corresponding to G.R. Case No.219 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., (City), Cuttack for commission of the alleged offences punishable under sections 341, 323, 294, 307, 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

// 2 // Perused the F.I.R. annexed to the anticipatory bail application.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that one co-accused namely, Sanjay Sahoo has already been released on bail by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Cuttack.

In view of 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 and the claim of parity with the co-accused persons, who are stated to have been released on bail may be taken into account. The case records shall be made available to the Courts concerned for disposal of the bail application.

The ABLAPL stands disposed of.

Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
