This is an application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioner for bail in connection with Sambalpur Sason P.S. Case No.96 of 2013, corresponding to G.R. Case No.1964 of 2013 in S.T. Case No.33/10 of 2014, pending in the file of learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Sambalpur, for commission of alleged offence under Sections 307/302/34 of I.P.C. 3.

Pursuant to order dated 22.07.2022, a report from the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Sambalpur in S.T. Case No.33/10 of 2014 was received by this Office, which is placed at Flag-A of the bail application. On perusal of the said report, it is found that the report does not reveal the reasons for delay in disposal of S.T. Case No.33/10 of 2014 but it seems to be in the nature of a calendar statement.

Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of being allowed.
