ORDER

30.08.2022 03.

1.

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

2.

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

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

4.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioners that the Petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case and there is no direct evidence against them. There is case and counter case between the parties. The injuries sustained are simple in nature. 5.

Considering the nature of allegations made, gravity of the offence and the facts of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioners. However, it is directed that in the

// 2 // event the Petitioners surrender before the learned S.D.J.M., Berhampur in G.R.Case No.860 of 2022 arising out of Gopalpur P.S.Case No.73 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today and move for bail, they shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as would be deemed just and proper by the learned Magistrate, but subject to verification of injury. It is directed that the Petitioners while on bail shall cooperate with the investigation and appear before the I.O. as and when required and shall appear before the trial court on each and every date fixed. The Petitioners while on bail shall not threaten, influence terrorise or harass the informant and his family members in any manner whatsoever. Violation of conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. 6.

Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of.

7.

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