The petitioners are seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Jagatsinghpur P.S. Case No.34 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. Case No.92 of 2025 registered for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 296/3(5)/351(3) of the BNS, 2023, pending in the Court of the learned S.D.J.M., Jagatsinghpur. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners, on instruction from the petitioners, submits that except the present bail application, no other bail application of the petitioners is pending in any other Court relating to the aforesaid F.I.R. p. 2 4. The allegation against the petitioners is that on 16.01.2025 at about 11.00 A.M., the complainant lodged a written report alleging that on 15/16.01.2025 midnight two unknown persons were standing in front of her gate by holding deadly weapon. The said unknown persons abused her husband in obscene language and threatened with dire consequence. Hence, the case. 5. Regard being had to the nature of allegation against the petitioners, I am inclined to grant the petitioners anticipatory bail. Accordingly, it is directed that in the event the petitioners are arrested, they shall be released by the Arresting Officer subject to the verification of the criminal antecedent of similar nature, they shall cooperate with the investigation and shall appear before the I.O. as and when their presence is required for the purpose of investigation; they shall not indulge in similar criminal offences while on bail; they shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date of posting of the case, if not presented by p. 3 sufficient cause. Violation of any of the conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. 6. The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of. (S.S.
