Learned counsel, on instruction, submits that except the present BLAPL, no other bail application of the Petitioner relating to the aforementioned P.S. case is pending in any other Court. 4. Being aggrieved by the rejection of his application for bail U/s.483 of BNSS by the learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Berhampur, Ganjam, by order dated 25.02.2026 in the aforementioned case, the present BLAPL has been filed. 5. The Petitioner is in custody since 13.01.2026 asserting that in the meanwhile charge sheet has already p. 2 been filed and the property has been recovered. Hence, he may be released on bail. 6. The allegation against the present Petitioner is committing dacoity in a train. 7. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail. 8. Taking into account that the Petitioner has the following criminal antecedents i.e., GRPS Case No. 29 of 2018 under Section 380 IPC; GRPS Case No. 97 of 2023 under Sections 392/34 IPC; and GRPS Case No. 65 of 2024 under Sections 309(6)/3(5) BNS, all of which relate to offence in a train, this Court is not inclined to entertain the bail application of the Petitioner at this stage. 9. The Petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer before the learned Trial Court after framing of charge. If such an application is moved, same shall be considered on its own merits without being influenced by the earlier rejection or the order passed by this Court. 10. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. (V. NARASINGH) Judge Jina
