Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State.

3.

The petitioner is in custody since 12.10.2021 in connection with Sundargarh Town P.S. Case No. 280 of 2021 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 1597 of 2021 pending in the court of learned S.D.J.M., Sundargarh for the alleged commission of offence under Sections 419/ 420/468/471/3423/325/307/506/120(B)/34 of IPC. 4.

Having regard to the submissions made, the materials on record, the period of detention already undergone and the fact that the co-accused person-Rabindra Parida who stands on the same footing as the present petitioner has already been granted bail by this Court in BLAPL No. 10512 of 2021, I am inclined to allow the prayer for bail. Let the petitioner be released on bail on such terms and conditions as the court in seisin over the matter may deem fit and proper to impose including the condition that he shall

personally appear before the trial court on each date of posting of the case without fail.

5.

The BLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
