IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK BLAPL No. 933 of 2026 R. Jegatheesh @ Jagatheesh … Petitioner Radhakrishnan Ms. P. Nayak, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha … Opposite Party Mr. M. R.

After having considered the rival submission upon perusal of record, there appears some allegation against the petitioner, but the learned Addl.

It is, however, not in dispute that the petitioner is in custody since 26. 03. 2025 and in the meantime, some of the co-accused persons have already been granted bail. In such view of the matter and taking into account the pre-trial detention of the petitioner in custody and regard being had to the magnitude of the financial fraud and the offences being triable by magistrate and trial having not yet commenced and taking into account the law laid down by Apex Court in Satender Kumar Antil Vrs. Central Bureau of Investigation; (2022) 10 SCC 51, this Court without expressing any view on merit admits the petitioner to bail. 5.
Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands allowed and the petitioner is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) only with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it. 6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. A soft copy of this order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court, who shall afterwards communicate the same to the concerned Jail through e-mail for reference. (G.
