Instant petition has been filed under Section 482 BNSS by the petitioner seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Balipatna P.S. Case No.519 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. Case No.3311 of 2025 pending in the court of learned J.M.F.C.(O), Bhubaneswar on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. A counter FIR has been lodged for the self-same incident, a copy of which is at Annexure-2. In course of hearing, learned counsel for the State produced the case diary and injury report of the victim. It is submitted to the Court that the informant’s husband received no grievous injury. But the medical examination report of the victim, namely, Ramakanta Baral reveals that he had three stiches and one grievous injury apparently received on account of the mischief committed by the petitioner. In view of the above, this Court, considering the submission of learned counsel for the respective parties, is not inclined to grant pre- arrest bail to the petitioner, who is at liberty to surrender before the learned court below seeking regular bail. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. The ABLAPL is disposed of. In the event, the petitioner surrender within a fortnight from today and moves application for bail in connection with G.R.
