PP CORAM: JUSTICE G. SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER(ORAL) 05.02.2026 05. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode). 2. This criminal appeal Under Section 14-A(2) of the Scheduled Caste & Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 together with amendment Act, 2016 (in short, “the Act”) in nature of bail is directed against the impugned order dated 24.05.2025 passed in GR Case No.33 of 2025 by which the learned Addl. Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Kodala has refused to release the appellant on bail in connection with Kodala PS Case No.48 of 2019 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 186/294/506/225 of IPC r/w Sec.3(1)(r)(s) of SC & ST (PoA) Act. 3. Heard, Mr. Jyotirmaya Sahoo, learned counsel for the appellant and Mr. C. Mahanty, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. None appears for the victim despite due notice of the criminal appeal as apprised by the learned Addl. PP. p. 2 4. Admittedly, this is a bail jump case, but the appellant is in custody since 14.05.2025 till he was granted interim bail in this case, however, no adverse report has been received against the appellant for misusing the liberty during interim bail. In that view of the matter and taking into consideration the custodial period and no adverse report being received and thereby, he having felt the rigor of law by remaining in the jail for flouting the orders of the Court, this Court by taking a lenient view, considers it proper to admit the appellant to bail. 5. Hence, the CRLA stands allowed and the impugned order is hereby set aside. Consequently, the appellant is directed to be released on bail on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by the learned Court in seisin over the matter. 6. Issue urgent certified copy of this order as per rules. (G. Satapathy) Judge Jayakrushna
