p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No.14192 of 2025 Jhango Khan & others …. Petitioners Mr. A.R. Panda, Advocate -Versus- State of Odisha …. Opposite Party Mr. S.K. Das, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 22.04.2026 02. 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed for pre-arrest bail of the petitioners in connection with Soro P.S. Case No.967 of 2025 corresponding to C.T. Case No.1877 of 2025 pending in the file of learned J.M.F.C., Soro on the grounds stated therein. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. Today, medical examination report of the victim is produced which shows that he received an incised wound on the head but is stated to be simple in nature. It is submitted by Mr. Panda, learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioner No.1 is an elderly person, whereas, the others are his family members and all have been entangled in the incident. Also perused the case diary and other police papers. The manner in which the mischief was committed by the petitioners is described by the witnesses p. 2 examined under Section 180 BNSS. One single injury has been received by the victim and though it has been by means of a sharp object but the medical examination report does not tally with the same. It is claimed that petitioner No.1 has no any other antecedent. Considering the objection of the State and in absence of any criminal antecedents against the petitioners and the nature of injury received by the victim and the existence of the dispute in the families revealed by the witnesses examined during investigation, this Court though not inclined to consider anyone’s pre-arrest bail plea but is of the view that all should be directed to surrender before the learned court below for being released with stringent conditions. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of. It is directed that in the event, the petitioners surrender before the learned J.M.F.C, Soro in connection with Soro P.S. Case No.967 of 2025 corresponding to C.T. Case No.1877 of 2025 within a fortnight from today, they shall be released on bail subject to them furnishing a bail bond of Rs.30,000/- (Rupees thirty thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned court below, which shall be at liberty to impose such other suitable conditions as deemed just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case besides the following, such as, they shall not cause any harm to the informant and his family members in any manner whatsoever while on bail and in particular, petitioner No.1 shall furnish an p. 3 undertaking at the local P.S. to cooperate the I.O. in the investigation till its completion. 6. Issue urgent certified copy as per rules. (R.K. Pattanaik) Judge Alok
