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 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in connection with Tuntulikhunti P.S. Case No.29 of 2022 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 211 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M., Nabarangpur for commission of alleged offences under sections 341, 294, 452, 506, 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act.

Learned counsel for the State on perusal of the case diary submitted that there are no criminal antecedents against petitioners nos.1 and 2 and she further stated that during the

// 2 // course of occurrence, no one has sustained any injury. The relevant page of the case diary furnished by the learned counsel for the State is taken on record.

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

Considering the nature of accusation against the petitioners and the submission made by the learned counsel for the State that no one has sustained any injury and that the petitioners have got no criminal antecedents, 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.

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.
