01.

1.

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

2.

Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner, learned Additional 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 448, 323, 354, 506/34 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 A.S.J. (Women's Court), Khurda in G.R.Case No.28 of 2004 arising out of Khurda P.S.Case No.10 of 2004 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; (ii) He shall not threaten, influence, terrorise or harass the informant and his family members in any manner whatsoever while on bail.

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

The ABLAPL is disposed of accordingly.
