p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No.1415 of 2026 Sanjit Sen …. Petitioner Mr. A. Mohanty, Advocate -Versus- State of Odisha …. Opposite Party Mrs. Siva Mohanty, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 12.03.2026 01. 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 Kamarda P.S. Case No.10 of 2026 corresponding to C.T. Case No.33 of 2026 pending in the file of learned NGN-cum-J.M.F.C., Bhograi on the grounds stated therein. 3. Perused the F.I.R. as at Annexure-1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the present accused was not at the spot and has not been named in the F.I.R. i.e. Annexure-1, hence, he should be allowed to go on bail. Recorded the objection of the State. The report reveals that two other persons managed to flee, whereas, one Tapas Sasmal was caught at the spot. The allegation is that the miscreants have removed the cash of Rs.30,000/- and laptop from a bag. Considering the nature of allegations and the claim that the petitioner is having no antecedent and is also not involved in the alleged mischief p. 2 and objection of the State, this Court is not inclined to consider his plea for pre-arrest bail, but is of the view that he should surrender before the learned court below seeking regular bail for consideration of the same with all such plea as has been advanced. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, ABLAPL is disposed of. It is further directed that in the event, the petitioner surrenders within fortnight from today before the learned NGN-cum-J.M.F.C., Bhograi in connection with Kamarda P.S. Case No.10 of 2026 corresponding to C.T. Case No.33 of 2026 and moves an application for regular bail, it shall be duly considered in the first hour after calling for the relevant record including case diary in order to ascertain the role played by him and in case of rejection, he shall approach the Sessions Court during the second hour for orders on the same day and for the said purpose the lower court record shall be made available. 6. Issue urgent certified copy as per rules. (R.K. Pattanaik) Judge Sumitra
