JUSTICE SASHIKANTA MISHRA

ORDER

16.05.2022 1.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

Order No.

1.

2.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Standing Counsel for the State.

3.

The petitioner is in custody in connection with Rajnagar P.S. Case No.7 of 2022 corresponding to G.R. Case No.8 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned N.G.N.-cum-J.M.F.C., Kendrapara for the alleged commission of offence under Sections 454/380 of IPC.

4.

It is alleged that the petitioner committed theft of mobile phone and some cash from the informant. His application for bail was rejected by learned Court below mainly on the ground of his criminal antecedents, which are 16 in number. 5.

However, considering the fact that charge sheet has already been submitted and taking into consideration the period of detention in custody, I am inclined to allow the prayer for bail. Let the petitioner be released on bail on such terms and conditions as the court in seisin over the matter may deem fit and proper to impose including the condition that he shall personally appear

before the trial Court on each date of posting of the case without fail.

6.

BLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

7.

Issue urgent certified copy as per rules.

(Sashikanta Mishra) Judge A.K. Rana
