Based on the report, Jeypore Sadar P.S. Case No. 304 dated 19.10.2025 was registered under Sections 316(2) and 318(4) BNS, and investigation was taken up by ASI S.K. Sahu. 6.

Learned counsel for the State opposes such prayer, inter alia, on the ground that the Petitioner has antecedent of similar nature. 8. Considering the nature of allegations and that the Petitioner is a lady and her husband who suffers from disability which is on record, this Court directs p. 3 the Petitioner to be released on bail on such terms to be fixed by the learned Court in seisin so as to ensure his presence during the trial. 9. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. 10. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted as per rules. (V. NARASINGH) Vacation Judge Jina
