JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 14.05.2026 01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner in connection Jamboo Marine P.S. Case No. 153 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. Case No.1480 of 2025 pending in the file of learned SDJM, Kendrapara on the grounds stated therein. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. Mr. Nayak, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a tiffin box was removed from the bank and no cash. It is also submitted that the petitioner entered inside the bank premises under the influence of the alcohol and committed the mischief but at present is being searched by the local police, hence, the apprehension of arrest. Recorded the submission of Mr. Panda, learned ASC for the State. Considering the fact that there has been no any theft of cash from the bank being brought to its notice and the claim that the petitioner does not have any antecedent, with the objection of the State noted down, this Court is inclined to p. 2 direct him to surrender before the learned court below for being released with conditions, though, it is not a case for granting pre-arrest bail to him. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL petition stands disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to surrender before learned SDJM, Kendrapara within a fortnight from today and in the event, he surrenders in compliance thereof, shall be released on bail in connection with G.R. Case No.1480 of 2025 arising out of Jamboo Marine P.S. Case No. 153 of 2025 on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.15,000/- (rupees fifteen thousand) with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the court below, which shall be at liberty to impose such other suitable conditions as deemed just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. 6.
