This Court by order dated 9th January, 2026 in ABLAPL No.147 of 2026 at Flag-A and as at Annexure-2 was directed to surrender and to go on bail with conditions subject to verification of criminal antecedent and absence of any grievous injury caused to the victim. Today, it is submitted that the victim received simple injuries and the same is confirmed by Mrs. Mohanty, learned ASC for the State. With regard to the similar antecedent, the petitioner has two more cases, the details of which are pleaded on record and this Court finds that p. 2 the offences therein are triable by a Magistrate First Class and in both of cases, it is claimed that notices under Section 41-A Cr.P.C. were issued to him. Considering the above facts and submissions of learned counsel for the respective parties and even though, a case is under Section 109(1) BNS was registered but the injuries being simple, the Court, in view of the order in the earlier ABLAPL, is of the view that the petitioner should once again be directed to surrender before the learned court below to be released on bail subject to suitable conditions imposed. 4.
