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 Kesinga P.S. Case No. 87 of 2022 corresponding to C.T. Case No. 85 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Kesinga for the commission of the alleged offences punishable under sections 147, 148, 294, 323, 325, 341, 307, 427, 431, 506, 149 of the Indian Penal Code.

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

// 2 // Considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the case is an aftermath of a road accident in which a person died and 40-50 persons blocked the road demanding compensation for the family members of the deceased and there are no such materials to attract the ingredients of the offence under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and on hearing the learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the aforesaid case, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that they shall make themselves available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and they 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. The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
