CORAM:
THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANANDA CHANDRA BEHERA
ORDER 30.05.2025
Order No.
02. 1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode. 2. Since both the bail applications have arisen out of G.R. Case No.163 of 2025 in connection with the Niali P.S. Case
Page 2 of 3. No.172 of 2025 pending in the court of learned J.M.F.C, Niali for the offence under Sections 305 /331 (4 ) of BNS, 2023, then both the BLAPLs are taken up together analogously for their final disposal through this common order. 3. I have already heard from the learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State. 4. The petitioners are in jail custody since 10.05.2025 having implicated under Sections 305 /331(4) of BNS, 2023 on the allegation of commission of theft from the dwelling house. 5. During investigation, the petitioners were arrested on the same day of the alleged incident, i.e., on 10.05.2025 and were forwarded to the court after being booked with the aforesaid offences and since then, they(petitioners) are in custody. 6. When, the alleged offences against the petitioners are Magisterial triable in nature being the offences relating to commission of theft from the dwelling house and when, during the staying of the petitioners inside the jail since 10.05.2025, substantial parts of the investigation of the case might have been completed, then at this juncture, by taking the above factors into account, I find no justification to disallow the prayer for bail of the petitioners. Page 3 of 3. 7. Therefore, both the bail applications filed by the petitioners are allowed. 8. They (both the petitioners) are allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.50,000/-(rupees fifty thousand) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the court in seisin over the matter with conditions that :- (i) They (petitioners) shall not involve with similar nature of crime in future. (ii) They shall appear before the court personally on each date of adjournment of the case. (iii) They shall not terrorize, coerce, influence or threat any witnesses to the prosecution either directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever at any stage of the proceeding of the case. But, in case of their failure to comply any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned trial court is authorized to cancel their respective bail orders outrightly without seeking any permission for the same from this Court. 9.
Accordingly, both the bail applications filed by the petitioners are disposed of finally. 10. Grant urgent certified copy of this order to the petitioners on proper application. ( ANANDA CHANDRA BEHERA)
