Mohanty, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 25.03.2026 01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed seeking pre-arrest bail of the petitioners in connection with Pattamundei P.S. Case No.28 of 2026 corresponding to G.R. Case No.83 of 2026 now pending in the file of learned J.M.F.C., Pattamundei on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. A case under Section 109 BNS has been registered. It is submitted to the Court that the husband of the informant though received injuries but he is hale and hearty and discharged after treatment. Learned counsel for the State opposed the release of the petitioners referring to the FIR. The report reveals that the assault was by means of a ‘Pharsa’ causing head injury to the informant’s husband. Learned counsel for the petitioners does not have any instructions with regard to the nature of injuries received by the p. 2 victim but considering the circumstances under which the alleged incident took place and that the lady members of the family are involved, this Court, recording the objection of the State is of the view that the petitioners should instead be directed to surrender before the learned court below by not considering their plea for pre-arrest bail but for being released with following conditions. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. In the event, the petitioners surrender before the court of learned J.M.F.C., Pattamundei within fortnight from today, it is directed that petitioner Nos.1 and 4 shall be released on bail in connection with Pattamundei P.S. Case No.28 of 2026 corresponding to G.R. Case No.83 of 2026 on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.25,000/-(rupees twenty five thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount each with such other conditions imposed as deemed just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. As regards, petitioner Nos.2 and 3, it is further directed that their release shall be subject to verification of injury report of the victim. In case, the injuries of the informant’s husband received as a result of the assault are found to be not grievous, petitioner Nos.2 and 3, as further directed, shall be released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.40,000/- (rupees forty thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount each with other condition, such as, they shall not cause any harm to the p. 3 husband of the informant and his family members in any manner, whatsoever, while on bail. 6.
