Case No.101 of 2026, registered for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 296, 351(3) and 326(f) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, has approached this Court under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for his release on pre-arrest bail. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the State. 3. It is stated by the learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the State that since the offences alleged under Sections 296, 351(3) and 326(f) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 are bailable in nature, this application for anticipatory bail is not maintainable. 4. In view of the aforesaid submission of the learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the State, this petition under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 is misconceived, inasmuch as there is no apprehension of arrest in this case. 5. Accordingly, the prayer for pre-arrest bail stands rejected and the ABLAPL is disposed of. (M.S. Raman) Vacation Judge MRS SAMAL Designation: PERSONAL ASSISTANT Court, Cuttack Signature Not Verified
