This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode). This is an application for interim bail.

Learned counsel for the State has obtained written instruction dated 16.04.2022 from the Deputy Superintendent of Police, C.I.D., C.B., Cuttack, which indicates that though the O.P.D. ticket is genuine but there is no imminent medical intervention required. The written instruction is taken on record.

In view of such submission made by the learned counsel for the State, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on interim bail. Accordingly, prayer for

// 2 // interim bail stands rejected.

I.A. is accordingly disposed of.

( S.K. Sahoo) Judge BLAPL No.3609 of 2021 11.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

This is an application under section 439 of Cr.P.C. in connection with C.T. (Sessions) Case No.88 of 2017 arising out of Dhenkanal Sadar P.S. Case No.47 of 2017 pending in the Court of learned Sessions Judge, Dhenkanal for offences punishable under sections 302/307/506/120-B/34 of the Indian Penal Code read with sections 25/27 of the Arms Act.

The prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by the learned Sessions Judge, Dhenkanal vide order dated 22.04.2021.

Since it is stated at the Bar that after completion of evidence of the prosecution witnesses, the accused statement has also been recorded, while not inclining to release the petitioner on bail, but taking into account the period of detention of the petitioner in judicial custody, I direct the learned trial Court to conclude the trial by end of June 2022. The petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail, if the trial is

// 3 // not concluded within the aforesaid period.

Accordingly, the BLAPL is disposed of.

A copy of the order be communicated to the learned trial Court for compliance.

Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.

( S.K. Sahoo) Judge RKM
