PP CORAM: JUSTICE G. SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER(ORAL) 08.07.2025 06. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode). 2. This is the 2nd bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Dhenkanal Sadar PS Case No.43 of 2008 corresponding to CT(Sessions) Case No.122 of 2024 (GR Case No.127 of 2008) pending in the file of learned Sessions Judge, Dhenkanal, for commission of offences punishable U/S.302 of IPC, on the allegation of committing murder of the wife of the informant. 3. Heard, Mr. Bijaya Kumar Ragada, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. A. Pradhan, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. 4. After having considered the rival submissions upon perusal of record, there appears allegation against the petitioner, but the petitioner remained elusive for the police, since he was shown as an absconder in the p. 2 charge-sheet filed against him on 29.11.2009. Right now, the trial is going on and five witnesses have already been examined. 5. In view of the above facts and taking into account the long abscondance of the petitioner for 16 years, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage, especially when the other material witnesses are yet to be examined. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands rejected. Trial be expedited on the request of learned counsel for the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. (G. Satapathy) Judge Subhasmita Designation: Sr. Stenographer
