ORDER

16.08.2022 02.

1.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode).

2.

Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Additional Standing Counsel. Perused the records. 3.

This is an application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioner for anticipatory bail.

4.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the allegations against the Petitioner are all false, baseless and he is no way connected with the offences as alleged in the F.I.R. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the Petitioner has not explained the delay in lodging the F.I.R. He also contends that at no point of time the Petitioner has voluntarily caused any hurt to the injured or attempted to kill him in order to establish a case under the said offence but the informant due to previous enmity

// 2 // foisted this false case against the Petitioner in order to harass him. 5.

Considering the nature of allegations made, gravity of the offence and the fact of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioner. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the learned S.D.J.M., Jagatsinghpur in G.R.Case No.1040 of 2021 arising out of Jagatsinghpur P.S.Case No.454 of 2021 within a period of three weeks from today and moves for bail, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as would be deemed just and proper by the learned Magistrate and subject to verification of injury and criminal antecedent of similar nature.

6.

Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of.

7.

Issue urgent certified copy of this order as per Rules. ( A.K. Mohapatra) Judge RKS
