Case No.161 of 2025 pending in the file of learned Nyaydhikari Gramanyayalaya, Puri arising out of Puri Sadar P.S Case No.122 of 2025 on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. The petitioners had earlier approached this Court in ABLAPL No.3992 of 2025 disposed of on 23rd May, 2025 along with ABLAPL No.5891 of 2025 in respect of the co-accused, namely, Urmila Satapathy, wherein, they were directed to be released on bail subject to verification of criminal antecedent. It is submitted that petitioner Nos.1 and 2 do not have any such antecedent, whereas, petitioner No.3 is having one and therefore, he could not avail the bail order in ABLAPL No.3992 of 2025. The reason for the other two petitioners not surrendering before the learned court below despite the order in the ABLAPL is also brought to the notice of the Court by Mr. Mohapatra, learned counsel for them in response to the objection of the learned counsel for the State. Considering the above facts and nature of allegations as made to reveal from the FIR i.e. Annexure-1 and that the petitioners had been allowed to go on bail earlier vide ABLAPL No.3992 of 2025, a copy of which is at Annexure-A, this Court directs that all of them should once again be allowed to surrender before the court concerned for being released with suitable conditions. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. In the event, the petitioners surrender before the court of learned Nyaydhikari Gramanyayalaya, Puri, it is directed that they shall be released on bail within a fortnight from today in connection with G.R. Case No.161 of 2025 corresponding to Puri Sadar P.S Case No.122 of 2025 on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.30,000/-(rupees thirty thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount each with such other conditions imposed as deemed just and proper and in the facts and circumstances of the case. In so far as, petitioner No.3 is concerned, it is further directed that he shall furnish an undertaking to not commit any further mischief with the informant, while on bail and his release shall be subject to verification and absence of not more than one criminal case registered, as is claimed at present. 6.
