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 Petitioner is a very innocent person having no criminal antecedent. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the Petitioner is the owner of the vehicle and on the basis of co-accused statement he has been falsely implicated in this case. 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 Petitioner. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the learned S.D.J.M., Khurda in G.R.Case No.1190 of 2022 arising out of Jankia P.S.Case No.265 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today and moves for

// 2 // bail, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as would be deemed just and proper by the learned Magistrate and subject to verification of criminal antecedent. In the event it is found that there is more than one criminal antecedent, then this order shall stand revoked. In the event the vehicle of the Petitioner is found to be indulged in similar type of offence, then this order shall automatically stand revoked and the court in seisin over the matter shall proceed in accordance with law 6.

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. ( A.K. Mohapatra ) Judge RKS
