SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER(ORAL) 02.02.2026 05. 1. Since these two bail applications arise out of one and same case record, the same are heard together and disposed of by this common order with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. 2. These are bail applications U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Pottangi P.S. Case No.128 of 2024 corresponding to C.T. Case No.35 of 2025 pending in the file of learned Addl.

PP in the matter and perused the record. 4. After having considered the rival submissions upon perusal of record, there appears allegation against the petitioner Kartik Guntha for providing information to co-accused about the movement of the deceased, but there is allegation against the petitioner Narendra Nari Sara @ Narendra Sara for strangulating the deceased along with co-accused Tripati Silipadia. No doubt, the investigation has been completed, but looking at the allegation leveled against the petitioners and on going through the materials placed on record including the opinion of the Doctor as to cause of death of the deceased to be strangulation as per the post- mortem report and taking into account the other circumstances on record in entirety, this Court while not being inclined to grant bail to the petitioner Narendra Nari Sara @ Narendra Sara, considers it proper to admit the petitioner Kartik Guntha to bail. 5. Hence, the bail application of petitioner- Narendra Nari Sara @ Narendra Sara in BLAPL No. 11607 of 2025 stands rejected, whereas the bail application of the petitioner namely Kartik Guntha in BLAPL No. 9446 of 2025 is allowed and he is 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. 6. Accordingly, these BLAPL Nos. 6. Accordingly, these BLAPL Nos. 9446 and 11607 of 2025 stand disposed of. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. (G.
