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 C.T. Case No.215 of 2022 arising out of Athagarh P.S. Case No.91 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M., Athagarh for alleged commission of offences under sections 420/468/ 471/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Perused the F.I.R.
// 2 // In view of the nature and gravity of accusation against petitioner no.1 Girish Chandra @ Girisha Prasad Satpathy, while not inclining to grant anticipatory bail to him, it is observed that in the event he surrenders in the learned Court below and moves for bail, the learned Courts below shall dispose of the same in accordance with law expeditiously. The case records shall be made available to the Courts concerned for disposal of the bail application. So far as petitioner no.2, namely, Manua @ Bibhu Prasad Satpathy is concerned, in absence of any specific overt act against him and the fact that the offences are triable by Magistrate, I am inclined to release him on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioner no.
2, in connection with the aforesaid case, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that he shall make himself available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and he 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 any facts to the Courts or to the Investigating Officer.
// 3 // Violation of any of the above conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.
The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
Issue urgent certified copy as per Rules.
