Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
This is an application under section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in connection with Nuapada P.S. Case No.224 of 2021 corresponding to C.T. Case No.753 of 2021 pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M., Nuapada for alleged commission of offences under sections 341/294/392/ 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Perused the F.I.R..
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted
// 2 // that on the first information report submitted by the petitioner, Nuapada P.S.
Case No.217 dated 15.11.2021 was registered against the informant and since the truck of the informant was seized in connection with the said case, on vindictive attitude, the present F.I.R. has been lodged against the petitioner. Learned counsel further submitted that the offences are triable by Magistrate and therefore, the bail application of the petitioner may be favourably considered.
Learned counsel for the petitioner files an Addl. Affidavit along with F.I.R. copy of Nuapada P.S. Case No.217 dated 15.11.2021 which is taken on record. Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail.
Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the respective parties, nature of accusation against the petitioner, since the offences are triable by Magistrate and taking into account the background of the case, I am inclined to release the petitioner on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioner in connection with the aforesaid case, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with one surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that he shall make himself available
// 3 // for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and he 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 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.
