Heard Mr. Jyotirmaya Sahoo, learned counsel for the petitioners in both the BLAPLs and Mr. R.B. p. 2 Mishra, learned Addl. PP in the matter and perused the record. 5. Bail to the petitioners was in fact opposed to by learned State counsel on the ground of their identification in TI parade, but it is not disputed that the petitioners are not having more than one criminal antecedent. Further, substantial amount of cash has already been recovered. Besides, the petitioner Kalia Das who was granted interim bail has surrendered to custody and thereby, he has not misused the liberty so granted to him which is evident from the certified copy of the surrender certificate as filed. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the Petitioners vis-à-vis the accusation sought to be brought against them and regard being had to the pre-trial detention of the Petitioners in custody since 26.08.2025 with submission of charge-sheet in the meantime and there being no further custodial interrogation of the petitioners required and keeping in view 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 merit admits each of the petitioners to bail. 6. Hence, the bail applications of the petitioners Deepak Gouda & Another in BLAPL No.11154 of 2025 and Nrusingha Prasad Panda @ Nana in BLAPL No.12417 of 2025 stand allowed and the petitioners are p. 3 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 petitioners shall not threaten/ influence/induce/ coerce any of the witnesses including the informant and her family members acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade them disclosing such facts before the Court and; (ii) the petitioners shall appear before the IIC of the concerned local Police Station once in a fortnight preferably on a Sunday in each month in between 10 A.M. to 12 Noon for three (03) months from the actual date of release from the custody.
