This matter is taken up by video conferencing mode.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.
This is an application under section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in connection with G.R. Case No.351 of 2021 arising out of Gunupur P.S. Case No.184 of 2021 pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M., Gunupur for alleged commission of offences under sections 457/380/427/ 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Perused the F.I.R.
// 2 // Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the case has been instituted on account of dispute between the landlord and the tenant and the petitioners are the landlords and a civil suit has also been instituted in the Court of learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Gunupur between the parties and the offences are triable by Magistrate and therefore, the anticipatory bail application of the petitioner may be favourably considered.
Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.
Considering the submissions made by the respective parties, the background of the case and the existence of the civil dispute between the parties and the fact that the offences are triable by Magistrate, I am inclined to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the aforesaid case, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that they shall make themselves available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and they shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade
// 3 // him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to the Investigating Officer.
Violation of any of the above conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.
The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
