Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners and learned counsel for the State. 2. The Petitioners are seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with C.T. Case No.1770 of 2025 pending on the file of learned S.D.J.M., Jajpur, arising out of Binjharpur P.S. Case No.357 of 2025 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 303(2), 351(2), 74, 109, 117(2), 115(2), 126(2) and 3(5) of BNS, 2023. 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel that the Petitioner as well as the informant belong to one family and there is dissention in the family, for p. 2 which Petitioners have been falsely implicated. Hence, the Petitioners may be protected by pre- arrest bail. 4. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail. 5. Taking into account the nature of allegations and the punishment prescribed, 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 subject to verification of criminal antecedent of similar nature. 6. If it comes to the fore that the Petitioners have any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to. 7. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation. 8. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. (V. NARASINGH) Judge Jina
