Mohanty, Advocate -versus- State of Orissa … Opposite Party Mr. S.C. Pradhan, Addl. PP CORAM: JUSTICE G. SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER(ORAL):21.05.2026 02. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode). 2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Bolagarh PS Case No.207 of 2025 corresponding to ST Case No. 57 of 2026 pending in the file of learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Khordha for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.191(2)/ 191(3)/ 126(2)/ 296/ 115(2)/ 117(2)/ 118(1)/ 118(2)/ 119/ 109/ 140(3)/ 310(2)/ 351(2)/190 of the BNS r/w Sections 3 & 4 of the Explosive Substance Act, on the main allegation of abducting Manas Kumar Jena & Deepak Kumar Parida from Hatabasta Tukuni Variety Store, along with co-accused persons by threatening with deadly weapons and forcibly taking the abductees to nearby a place and demanding ransom of Rs. 1,00,000/- for their release as well as assaulting them with different weapons and firing. 3. In the course of hearing, Mr. Bibhuti Ranjan Mohanty, learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the name of the Petitioner does not find place in the FIR and he having no connection with this case and co- p. 2 accused having already been granted bail, the petitioner may kindly be admitted to bail. 3.1. On the other hand, Mr. S.C. Pradhan, learned Addl. PP submits that he is yet to receive Case Diary, but he seriously prays to reject the bail application of the petitioner. 4. After having considered the rival submissions upon perusal of record, this Court by way of an order passed on 05.05.2026 has directed both the parties to produce the copy of the statement of witnesses Manas Kumar Jena and Deepak Kumar Parida, but such statement has not yet been produced before this Court. Further, this Court by way of an order passed on 09.02.2026 in BLAPL No. 11780 of 2025 & BLAPL No. 12364 of 2025 has rejected the bail applications of the co-accused and Petitioner-Bhikari Jayasingh @ Bhikari Charana Jayasingh @ Hadia and another & Ajita Kumar Dalei @ Ajit Kumar Dalei. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, especially when this Court has passed order rejecting the bail application of the Petitioner earlier, but there being no change in circumstance to consider the bail application of the Petitioner afresh, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. 5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. (G. Satapathy) Judge Priyajit
