This matter is taken up by video conferencing mode.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that in the meantime, petitioner no.4 namely, Dhani Behera @ Dhaneswar Behera has already been arrested.

In view of such submission, the anticipatory bail application so far as petitioner no.4 is concerned, has become infructuous and accordingly, the same is disposed of.

So far as petitioners nos.1 to 3 and 5 namely,

// 2 // Netrananda Behera, Bharat Behera, Aju Behera @ Ajay Kumar Behera and Ani @ Ami Behera are concerned, considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that due to political dispute between the parties, the case has been foisted and there are no such material to attract the ingredients of offence under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and after hearing the learned counsel for the State who submitted that there are two injured persons in this case, namely, Sumant Sahoo who has sustained simple injuries, so far as Balaram Sahoo is concerned, his injury report indicates that he has sustained two grievous injuries, I am inclined to release petitioners nos.1 to 3 and 5 on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners nos.

1 to 3 and 5 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 each 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 him from disclosing any facts to the Courts or to the investigating Officer.
