Dash, Advocate (Informant) CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 21.07.2026 03. 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner in connection with Dhenkanal Town P.S. Case No.419 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. Case No.899 of 2025 pending in the file of learned S.D.J.M., Dhenkanal on the grounds stated therein. 3. Perused the FIRs as at Annexures-1 & 2. The petitioner had earlier approached this Court in ABLAPL No.8531 of 2025. A copy of the said order dated 11th November, 2025 is at Flag-A1. In fact, the petitioner was allowed to surrender before the learned court below within the stipulated period fixed and to go on bail subject to verification of criminal antecedent. Since the petitioner is having two other criminal cases, Mr. Sahoo, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the order in ABLAPL No.8531 of 2025 could not be availed of. Mr. Dash, learned counsel for the informant opposed the bail plea p. 2 of the petitioner and also maintainability of the application in view of the earlier order in ABLAPL No.8531 of 2025 and also the I.A. A copy of the order in I.A. No.2148 of 2025 dated 11th December, 2025 is produced by Mr. Dash, learned counsel claiming that the ABLAPL is not maintainable. Having regard to the order in ABLAPL No.8531 of 2025 dated 11th November, 2025 and that the petitioner is having two other antecedents and the copies of the FIRs therein having been produced, this Court finds that one is registered as Dhenkanal Town P.S. Case No.090 dated 16th February, 2026 at the behest of the informant’s brother and therein it is informed to the Court by learned counsel for the petitioner that he is on regular bail. This Court, recording the objection of Mr. Dash, learned counsel for the informant and the State and in view of the earlier order in ABLAPL No.8531 of 2025 at Flag-A1, is inclined to direct the petitioner to surrender before the learned court below for being released with stringent conditions. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. It is directed that in the event, the petitioner surrenders within a period of fifteen days from today before the learned S.D.J.M., Dhenkanal in connection with Dhenkanal Town P.S. Case No.419 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. Case No.899 of 2025, he shall be released on bail subject to him furnishing a bail bond of Rs.40,000/- (Rupees forty thousand) with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned court below, which shall be at liberty to impose such other suitable conditions as deemed just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. It is further directed that petitioner p. 3 shall stay from the informant and not to cause any harm to the latter in any manner whatsoever while on bail and at the same time, he shall appear before the I.O. once in a month till conclusion of the investigation. It is made clear that in case any of the conditions is/are violated by the petitioner, it shall entail cancellation of bail granted to him. 6. Issue urgent certified copy as per rules. (R.K.
