ORDER

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 innocent and implicated in this case by the informant only to harass the Petitioner. He also submits that no prima facie case is made out against the Petitioner.

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., Bargarh

// 2 // in G.R.Case No.847 of 2022 arising out of Jagdalpur P.S.Case No.122 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today and moves for bail, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as would be deemed just and proper by the learned Magistrate, but subject to verification of criminal antecedents of similar nature against the petitioner. It is also directed that the Petitioner while on bail shall not indulge in similar nature of offence and shall cooperate with the investigation and appear before the I.O. as and when required and shall appear before the trial court on each and every date fixed. Violation of conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. 6.

Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of.

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