01.

1.

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

2.

Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner, learned Addl. Standing Counsel for the State. Perused the records. 3.

This is an application under Section 438, Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioner for anticipatory bail, involving offence punishable under Sections 379, 411/34 of the Indian Penal Code. 4.

Considering the seriousness of the allegation, gravity of the offence and the facts of the case, although I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioner, however it is observed that, in the event the Petitioner surrenders and moves for bail before the learned J.M.F.C., Chandbali in G.R.Case No.749 of 2022 arising out of Bansada P.S.Case No.327 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as the learned Magistrate may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.

// 2 // While imposing conditions for bail, learned Magistrate shall also impose the following additional conditions - (i) The Petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and appear before the I.O. as and when required by the I.O.; (ii) He shall not indulge in similar nature of criminal offence while on bail;

(iii) He shall appear before the trial court on each and every date fixed.

Violation of any of the conditions shall entail cancellation of bail of the Petitioner.

5.

The ABLAPL is disposed of accordingly.

6.

Urgent certified copy of this order be granted as per rules. (A.K. Mohapatra) Judge RKS
