IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK BLAPL No.6274 of 2025 Pradip Gupta … Petitioner Mr. R.L. Pattnaik, proxy counsel On behalf of Mr. S.K. Panda, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha … Opposite Party Mr. A. Pradhan, Addl. PP CORAM: JUSTICE G. SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER(ORAL) 09.07.2025 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 petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Kuchinda PS Case No.204 of 2023 corresponding to ST Case No.52 of 2023 pending in the file of learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Kuchinda, for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.384/323/307/506/34 of IPC r/w Sec.25(1)(a)/25(6) of Arms Act. 3. Heard, Mr. Rajib Lochan Pattnaik, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Mr. Sunil Kumar Panda, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. A. Pradhan, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the present matter and perused the record. 4. Admittedly, it is a bail jump case and the petitioner is in custody since 05.10.2024 and the petitioner must have felt the rigor of law for flouting the orders of the Court by remaining in custody. In such view of the matter, this Court by taking a lenient view admits the petitioner to bail. 5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands allowed and the petitioner is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) only with two solvent sureties each 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 petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail, (ii) the petitioner in the course of trial shall attend the trial Court on each date of posting without fail unless their attendance are dispensed with. In case the Petitioner fails without sufficient cause to appear in the Court in accordance with the terms of the bail, the learned trial Court may proceed against the Petitioners for offence U/S.269 of BNS, 2023 in accordance with law. It is clarified that the Court in seisin of the case will be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioner without further reference to this Court, if any of the above conditions are violated or a case for cancellation of bail is otherwise made out. In the wake of aforesaid, the subsequent involvement of the petitioner in future for similar/grave offences on prima facie accusations may be treated as a ground for cancellation of bail in this case. 6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. 7. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. (G. Satapathy) Judge Priyajit
