ORDER

05.04.2022 01.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode). Heard 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 Mangalpur P.S. Case No.130 of 2022 corresponding to C.T. Case No.501 of 2022 pending before the learned S.D.J.M., Jajpur for commission of alleged offences under sections 341, 323, 325, 506, 294, 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 3,4, and 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908.

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

In view of the nature and gravity of accusation against the petitioner no.1 Sanatana Bal that he assaulted the informant, while not inclining to grant anticipatory bail to him, it is observed that in the event he surrenders in the learned Court below and moves for bail, the learned Courts below shall dispose of the same in accordance with law expeditiously. The case records shall be made available to the Courts concerned for disposal of the bail application. So far as petitioner no.2 Satyaranjan Bal @ Dilu Bal, petitioner no.3 Sri Mahendra Kumar Bal @ Mahendra Bal and petitioner no.4 Batakrushna Nayak are concerned, in absence of any specific overt act against them, I am inclined to release petitioners nos.2, 3 and 4 on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioner nos.

2, 3 and 4 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.

// 3 // 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.
