Case No.222 of 2023 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 341/294/323/324/307/354-B/379/506/34 of IPC. 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioners that since Petitioner Nos.1 & 2 are the parents of the principal accused Shesana Behera and Petitioner No.3 is the brother, they have been implicated in the case at hand. 4. Referring to the injury report, learned counsel for the Petitioners submits that since the injuries are p. 2 simple, the Petitioners may be protected by pre- arrest bail. 5. Such submission is opposed by the learned counsel for the State inter alia on the ground that the investigation is at a nascent stage. 6. Taking into account the nature of allegation and the injury report, this Court directs that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioners shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed just and proper. 7. Before releasing the learned Court shall verify as to whether order of this Court has been assailed before the Apex Court and if so, the result thereof. 8. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation. 9. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. 10. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted as per rules. (V. NARASINGH) Judge Ayesha
