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

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.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioners that the informant has falsely implicated the Petitioners in the aforesaid case. He also submits that the Petitioners have no criminal antecedent.

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 Petitioners. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioners surrender before the learned S.D.J.M., Athamallik in G.R.Case No.795 of 2022 arising out of Colliery

Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of.
