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 allegations leveled against the Petitioners are totally false and fabricated. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioners that the Petitioners do not have criminal antecedents. 5.

Considering the nature of allegations made, gravity of the offence and the fact of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioners. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioners surrender before the learned S.D.J.M., Sambalpur in G.R.Case No.1297 of 2022 arising out of Jujumura P.S.Case No.50 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today and move for bail, they shall be released on bail on such terms and

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
