This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode). Learned counsel for the State has pointed out that petitioner no.1 Jnan Ranjan Mallik @ Gyanaranjan Mallik has already been arrested.
In view of such submission, this anticipatory bail application so far as petitioner no.1 has become infructuous and accordingly, disposed of.
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
// 2 // connection with Nikirai P.S. Case No.31 of 2022 corresponding to G.R. Case No.495 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M., Kendrapara for alleged commission of offences under sections 341/294/354/ 323/307/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Perused the first information report annexed to the anticipatory bail application.
Learned counsel for the State submitted that the injured in this case is one Keshab Chandra Pati and he has sustained simple injury.
Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the ingredients of the offence under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code are not attracted and taking into account the nature of accusation against the petitioners nos.2 and 3 and the injury sustained by the injured, I am inclined to release the petitioners nos.2 and 3 on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners nos.2 and 3, namely, Krushna Chandra Mallik and Sanjaya Kumar Mallik respectively 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
// 3 // 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 such facts to the Court or to the Investigating Officer.
Violation of any of the above conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.
The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
