ORDER 30.04.2026
01. 1. Both the ABLAPLs are taken up for orders. 2. Recorded the submissions of learned counsel for the respective parties. 3. Instant petitions have been filed under Section 482 BNSS by the petitioners seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.155 of 2026 pending in the file of learned SDJM, Jagatsinghpur arising out of Jagatsinghpur P.S. Case No.72 of 2026 on the grounds stated. Page 2 of 3
4. Perused the F.I.R. as at Annexure-1. It is submitted that the petitioners are not responsible for the assault. It is also submitted that the other accused persons, namely, Ummar Farooq and Sk Mosim are the assailants. With such submission, release of the petitioners is demanded. The case diary is produced by Mr. Mohanty, learned ASC for the State. Along with case diary, the medical examination report of the victim is made available. The said report reveals the victim, namely, Truptiraj Nayak to have received a laceration stated to be simple in nature though on head with an opinion therein that it might have been caused by a blunt object. Even though in the F.I.R. there is allegation of use of sharp-edged weapons but the injury is otherwise just a laceration caused by a blunt object. It is informed to the Court that one of the petitioners in ABLAPL No.3458 of 2026 is having a criminal case, whereas, the other two do not have any. Recording the submissions as above and objection of the State and since the medical examination report of the victim does not reveal any injury as grievous, this Court though not in favour of considering their plea arrest bail plea however, is inclined to direct release of the petitioners upon surrender before the learned court below subject to stringent conditions. 5. Accordingly, it is ordered. 6. In the result, the ABLAPLs are disposed of.
Consequently, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the court of learned SDJM, Jagatsinghpur in connection with G.R. Case No.155 of 2026 arising out of Jagatsinghpur P.S. p. 3 Case No.72 of 2026 within a fortnight from today for being released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.30,000/-(rupees thirty thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount each with such other conditions besides the following, such as, none shall commit any further mischief involving the informant and cause any harm to him in any manner whatsoever while on bail and to furnish an undertaking in that regard at the local P.S. and also to co-operate the I.O. in the investigation as and when summoned without fail. The above
order shall not be given effect to if the petitioner in ABLAPL No. 3458 of 2026 is having more than one criminal case. The release of other two petitioners in ABLAPL No. 1450 of 2026 is also subject to absence of antecedents as further directed.
7. Issue urgent certified copy of this order as per rules.
