p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No.4951 of 2026 Dina @ Dinabandhu Tandi & another …. Petitioner Mr. A Mishra, Advocate & Associates -Versus- State of Orissa …. Opposite Party Mr. M.K. Mohanty, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 05.05.2026 01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and State. 2. Instant petition has been filed under Section 482 BNSS by the petitioner seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Lachhipur P.S. Case. No. 145 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. Case No.336 of 2025 pending in the court of learned J.M.F.C. S.Rampur on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. Mr. Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that no serious injury has been received by the informant at the instance of the petitioners. It is submitted that the petitioners do not have any antecedent either and therefore, they should be allowed to go on bail with any conditions but the same is objected by learned counsel for the State. From the F.I.R. the Court finds that petitioner No.1 assaulted the victim by means of an axe to his leg which is though claimed to be not grievous. As to petitioner p. 2 No.2, he has not been named in the F.I.R. but found to be present along with the co-accused and did other mischief and said to have assaulted the informant by means of a stick. Considering the F.I.R. and the allegations therein, this Court is of the view that petitioner No.1 should be given the liberty to surrender before the learned court below demanding release and in case of rejection to approach the Sessions Court, whereas, petitioner No.2 should be allowed to go on bail with stringent conditions as he is not responsible for the assault by any dangerous weapon though not inclined to entertain his bail plea as advanced at present. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. In the event, the petitioners surrenders before the learned court below within a fortnight from today and upon receiving an application for bail from petitioner No.1, it shall be entertained and disposed of in connection with G.R. Case No. 336 of 2025 and in case of rejection by learned J.M.F.C. S.Rampur to approach the Sessions Court for order on the same day and as to petitioner No.2, it is directed that he shall be released on bail therein subject to conditions with an undertaking furnished by him that he shall not cause any further mischief involving the informant while on bail. kabita 6. kabita 6.
