This is the 2nd successive application U/S.483 of BNSS by the Petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Kishannagar PS Case No.10 of 2025 corresponding to GR Case No.83 of 2025 pending in the file of learned JMFC-IV (Cog. taking), Cuttack, for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.331(4)/ 305/317(2) of BNS, on the main allegation of committing theft in the house of the informant and taking away valuables. 3. Heard, Mr. Deepak Kumar Sahoo, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. S.C. Pradhan, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. At the outset, Mr. Sahoo informs this Court that this is the 2nd bail application of the p. 2 petitioner, but no bail application of the petitioner is pending before any other forum except this one. 4. The petitioner renews his prayer for bail purportedly under the changed circumstance of submission of charge sheet. Admittedly, FIR has been lodged against unknown persons, but the petitioner has been detained in custody since 06.05.2025 and in the meantime, charge-sheet has already been submitted in this case. In that view of the matter and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the petitioner vis-à- vis the accusations sought to be brought against him and regard being had to the pre-trial detention of the petitioner in custody 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 together with grant of bail to co-accused Bikash Das by this Court in BLAPL No. 6603 of 2025, this Court without expressing any view on merits, admits the petitioner to bail. 5.
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 p. 3 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 his attendance is dispensed with and shall cooperate with the trial. 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 Petitioner for offence U/S.269 of BNSS in accordance with law,
(iii) the petitioner shall report attendance before the jurisdictional 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. The I.I.C. of Jurisdictional Police Station shall not detain the petitioner unnecessarily after recording his attendance beyond the time as stipulated. 6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of.
