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 the bail applications U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Golanthara P.S. Case No.276 of 2024 corresponding to S.T. Case No. 445 of 2024 (G.R. Case No. 893 of 2024) pending in the file of learned 3rd Addl. Sessions Judge- cum-Special Judge, Ganjam, Berhampur, being charge sheeted for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 322/307/324/34 of the IPC, on the main allegation of committing murder of the deceased A. Balu by stabbing him to death. 3. Heard, Mr. Sunil Kumar Palai, learned counsel for the petitioner in BLAPL No. 9745 of 2025, Mr. Nrusingha Nanda Mohapatra, learned counsel for the petitioner appearing virtually in BLAPL No. 64 of 2026 and Mr. R.B. p. 2 Mishra, learned Addl. PP in these matters and perused the record including the copy of deposition of PWs.1 to 15. 4. After having considered the rival submissions upon perusal of record, there appears allegation against the petitioners for committing murder of the deceased A. Balu, but the witnesses so far examined in this case, including the four eye witnesses have not substantially deposed against the petitioners. In that view of the matter and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against 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 10.07.2024 & 06.07.2024 and taking into account the other circumstances on record in entirety including the inherent right of an accused to be presumed innocent until proven guilty at the trial, this Court without expressing any view on merit, admits each of the petitioners to bail. 5. Hence, these two bail applications of the petitioners namely P. Mohan (BLAPL No. 9745 of 2025) and Yeduru Raju @ Y. Raju (BLAPL No. 64 of 2026) are allowed and each of the petitioners is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty-five Thousand) each with two solvent sureties 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 BLAPLs stand disposed of. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules.
A soft copy of this order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court, who shall afterwards communicate the same to the concerned Jail through e-mail for reference. (G. Satapathy)
