It is submitted by the learned counsel for the State, on instruction, that notice has been duly served on the Informant. There was no appearance on behalf of the Informant, when the matter is called. 2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners and learned counsel for the State. 3. The Petitioners are seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with C. T. Case No. 1758 of 2025 pending on the file of learned SDJM, Bhubaneswar, arising out of Mahila P. S. Case No. 273 of 2025 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 85, 115(2), 296, 351(2), 3(5), of the BNS 2023 (Act No. 45 of 2023) in short B. N. S. 2023, R/w. Sec. 4 of the D. P. Act. 1961. 4.
Taking into account the nature of allegations and punishment prescribed and in the meanwhile the charge sheet has been filed, learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioners may be protected by pre-arrest bail. 5. Learned counsel for the State opposes such prayer. 6. Considering the nature of allegations, it is directed that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioners shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed just and proper subject to verification of criminal antecedent of similar nature. 7. If it comes to fore that the Petitioners have any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to. 8. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation. 9. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. (V.
