1.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode).

2.

Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Additional Standing Counsel. Perused the records. 3.

This is an application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioner for anticipatory bail.

4.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the allegations made in the F.I.R. are totally false and fabricated and based on concocted story. He also submits that the Petitioner is an innocent person and has been falsely implicated in this case. 5.

Considering the nature of allegations made, gravity of the offence and the facts of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioner. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the learned S.D.J.M., Khordha in I.C.C.Case No.77 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from

The Petitioner shall not threaten, influence, terrorise or harass the informant in any manner whatsoever. Violation of condition shall entail cancellation of bail.
