p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK BLAPL No.13628 of 2025 Hemanta Kumar Swain … Petitioner None -versus- State of Odisha … Opposite Party Mr. M.R. Patra, Addl. PP CORAM: JUSTICE G. SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER(ORAL) : 07.05.2026 05. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode). 2. None appears for the petitioner today at the time of call, so also the petitioner had earlier sought for an adjournment on 02.02.2026 and thereafter, on 01.05.2026 and on 05.05.2026. It further appears that on 01.05.2026, the petitioner was granted time for the last time to get ready in the matter and accordingly, matter was posted on 05.05.2026 on which date, once again adjournment was sought for by the petitioner and this Court by taking into consideration the request of the learned proxy counsel namely Mr. Jasaswi Anirudh Padhi, granted another adjournment to 07.05.2026 i.e. to today by making it clear that no further adjournment shall be granted. 3. In the aforesaid situation, when the matter was posted for last chance and thereafter another chance, but the petitioner having not availed such chances, this Court has no option left, but to dismiss the bail application for default. Accordingly, the present bail application stands p. 2 dismissed for default. This Court, however, makes it clear that the petitioner may revive this application by showing sufficient cause of non-appearance. (G. Satapathy) Judge S.Sasmal Designation: Jr. Stenographer
