The Petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with C.T. Case No.941 of 2025 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Chandikhole, arising out of Dharmasala P.S. Case No.281 of 2025 for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 85, 80(2), 103(1) and 3(5) of BNS, 2023 and U/s. 4 of the D.P. Act. 3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail. 4. Taking into account the nature of allegations, inter alia, under Section 103(1) of BNS, the institution of the FIR is on 14.05.2025 and the Petitioner is the husband, this Court is not inclined to p. 2 entertain the application for pre-arrest bail. However, in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the learned Court in seisin in the aforesaid case and moves an application for his release on bail, the same shall be considered on its own merit. 5. The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of. (V. NARASINGH) Judge Jina
