01. 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 petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Samal PS Case No.320 of 2025 corresponding to GR Case No.1558 of 2025 pending in the file of learned JMFC(CT), Talcher for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.309(6)/317(2)/3(5) of BNS, on the main allegation of snatching the gold chain from the informant. 3. Heard, Mr. Chiranjib Rout, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. P. Satpathy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. On being queried about the identification of the petitioner in TI parade, Mr. Rout volunteers to withhold bail to the petitioner, if he is found to have been identified in TI parade. 4. Admittedly, the FIR has been lodged against unknown persons, but no IT parade has been conducted to identify the suspects/petitioners. In that view of the matter and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against p. 2 the petitioners vis-à-vis the accusations sought to be brought against them and regard being had to the pre- trial detention of the Petitioners in custody since 07.11.2025 with submission of charge sheet in the meantime and taking into account the other circumstances on record in entirety including the inherent right of the accused to be presumed innocent until proven guilty at the trial, this Court without expressing any view on merits admits the petitioner to bail, but subject to verification of his identification in TI parade. 5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioners stand allowed and the petitioners are allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.50,000 /- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it with following conditions:- (i) the petitioners shall report attendance before the jurisdictional Police Station once in a fortnight preferably on a Sunday in each month in between 10 A.M. to 12 Noon for six(06) months from the actual date of his release from the custody.
