Order No.
ORDER(ORAL) 08.01.2026
02.
1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).
2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Deogarh P.S. Case No.368 of 2014 corresponding to T.R. Case No. 33 of 2014 (C.T. Case No. 22 of 2014) pending in the file of learned Addl. Sessions Judge- cum-Special Judge, Deogarh, for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 363/376(2)(n)(i) of the IPC r/w. Sec.4 & 6 of the POCSO Act.
3. Heard, Mr. Amlan Shakti Paul, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. A. Mohanty, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. None appears for the victim despite being duly informed as apprised by the learned State counsel.
4. Admittedly, this is a bail jump case and the NBWA has been issued against the petitioner on p. 2 05.04.2021, but he was taken into custody on 22.09.2025 on the strength of such NBWA and, therefore, the Petitioner must have felt the rigor of law by remaining in the jail for flouting the orders of the Court. In such view of the matter and considering the incarceration period of the petitioner for jumping the bail, this Court by taking a lenient view, admits the petitioner to bail.
5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands allowed and he 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 deems fit and proper by it with following condition:- (i) the petitioner in the course of trial shall attend the trial Court on each date of posting without fail unless his attendance is dispensed with. In case the Petitioner fails without sufficient cause to appear in the Court in accordance with the terms of the bail, the learned trial Court may proceed against the Petitioner for offence U/S.269 of BNS in accordance with law.
6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules.
