Opposite Parties Mr. S.K.Lenka, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 30.03.2026 05. 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed seeking pre-arrest bail of the petitioner in connection with Balasore Cyber Crime & Economic P.S. No. 8 of 2024 corresponding to C.T. Case No.262 of 2024 pending in the file of learned S.D.J.M., Balasore on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. Recorded the submission of Mr. Panda, learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner had earlier approached this Court in ABLAPL No.4118 of 2024 disposed of on 2nd May, 2024 with a direction for him to surrender before the learned court below seeking regular bail and in case of rejection, to move the Sessions Court. A copy of the said order is at Annexure-2 and the chargesheet at Annexure-2. Mr. Panda, learned counsel further submits that there has been a compromise between the p. 2 informant and the petitioner. A compromise affidavit by opposite party No.2, namely, informant is filed today in Court and the same is taken on record. As per the said affidavit, opposite party No.2 is said to have had an amicable settlement between him and the petitioner. Further submission is that the Aadhar Card of the petitioner was misused by the co-accused persons and the mischief was committed as a result and hence, he is not directly involved and therefore, should be allowed to go on bail. Recorded the objection of the State. 4. A copy of the forwarding report in respect of the co- accused, namely, Abdul Jawed Khan is produced to satisfy the Court that the petitioner is not involved in the mischief, rather, his Aadhar Card was used by the co-accused above named, who had called the informant over phone to purchase 100 cartoons of ORS. It is claimed that 20 cartoons of ORS never reached the destination, hence, the F.I.R. but considering the affidavit of opposite party No.2 and the fact that the Aadhar Card of the petitioner was used illegally by the other accused and it has led to the mischief towards disposal of 20 cartoons of ORS without being delivered to the informant, this Court, recording the objection of the State, is of the view that he should instead be directed to surrender before the learned court below to go on bail with conditions notwithstanding the order in ABLAPL dated 2nd May, 2024 i.e. Annexure-2. In other words, in view of the compromise between the parties arrived at, the petitioner deserves to be treated released with suitable conditions imposed. Page 3 of 3 5. Accordingly, it is ordered. 6. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. In the event, the petitioner surrenders before the court of learned S.D.J.M. Dhenkanal within a fortnight from today, it is directed that he shall be released on bail in connection with C.T. Case No.262 of 2024 corresponding to Balasore Cyber Crime & Economic P.S. No. 8 of 2024 on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.30,000/-(rupees thirty thousand) with one solvent surety for the like amount with such other conditions imposed by the court concerned as deemed just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. 7.
