Heard, Mr. Samvit Mohanty, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. S.K. Rout, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. At the outset, Mr. Samvit Mohanty, learned counsel for the Petitioner apprises this Court that this is the 3rd bail application of the Petitioner, but no bail application of p. 2 the Petitioner is pending before any other forum except this one. 4. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offence as alleged against the Petitioner vis-à-vis the accusation sought to be brought against him and regard being had to the pre-trial detention of the Petitioner in custody since 30.10.2021 with examination of nine witnesses including the informant and taking into account the other circumstances on record in entirety including the evidence and PM report, this Court without expressing any view on merits admits the Petitioner to bail. 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 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. 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 BNS,2023 in accordance with law, p. 3 (iii) the petitioner shall not leave the territorial jurisdiction of the trial Court without prior permission till disposal of the case by intimating his present address of stay to the concerned Court, (iv) 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 six (06) 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. It is clarified that the Court in seisin of the case will be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioner without further reference to this Court, if any of the above conditions are violated or a case for cancellation of bail is otherwise made out. In the wake of aforesaid, the subsequent involvement of the petitioner in future for similar/grave offences on prima facie accusations may be treated as a ground for cancellation of bail in this case. 6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. 7. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. (G. Satapathy) Judge Jayakrushna
