ORDER

23.03.2022 03.

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 Chandrasekharpur P.S. Case No. 127 of 2021 corresponding to C.T. Case No.1310 of 2021 pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M., Bhubaneswar for the commission of the alleged offences punishable under sections 341, 323, 294, 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that it is a case and counter case, there is a background of civil dispute between the parties, the

// 2 // offences are triable by Magistrate and the only non-bailable offence is one under section 506 of the Indian Penal Code and the fact that petitioners have been granted interim protection since 24.03.2021 and there is no material that they have misutilized their liberty, the interim order dated 24.03.2021 is made absolute.

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

Issue urgent certified copy as per Rules.
