ORDER

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

Order No.

1.

2.

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

3.

The petitioners are in custody since 15.03.2022 in connection with Sundargarh Town P.S. Case No.200 of 2021 corresponding to G.R. Case No.1050 of 2021 pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M., Sundargarh for the alleged commission of offence under Section 379 of IPC. 4.

It is alleged that the petitioners along with some other persons committed theft of motorcycle belonging to the informant while he had parked it in front of a petrol pump. 5.

It is submitted that the motorcycle was not seized from the possession of the petitioners but from the co-accused. 6.

Considering the fact that the stolen motorcycle has since been recovered and investigation appears to have progressed substantially, I am inclined to allow the prayer for bail. Let the petitioners 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 they shall personally

appear before the trial Court on each date of posting of the case without fail and in case of even a single default, the Court below shall pass appropriate orders to take them to custody again. Further they shall appear before the IIC of Sundargarh Town Police Station on every Monday at 10 a.m. for a period of six months and such fact shall be certified by the IIC to the Court below once in a month.

7.

BLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

8.

Issue urgent certified copy as per rules.
