Order No.
ORDER(ORAL)30.06.2026
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 petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Doraguda PS Case No.8 of 2026 corresponding to GR Case No.55 of 2026 pending in the file of learned JMFC, Kashipur for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.103(1)/ 238(a)/ 3(5) of BNS.
3. Heard, Mr. Sanjib Kumar Bhanjadeo, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. C. Mohanty, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record.
4. After having considered the rival submission upon perusal of record, there appears allegation against the petitioners & others for assaulting the deceased and killing him pursuant to a conspiracy and the PM report discloses some injuries on the person of the deceased. Besides, one small piece of stick was recovered pursuant to the disclosure statement of the co-accused Eno Dora. The bail application of the petitioners was rejected by the learned Sessions Judge, Rayagada prior to submission of p. 2 charge-sheet, but in the meantime, there must be substantial progress in investigation. In the aforesaid
facts and situation and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the petitioners vis-à-vis the accusation sought to be brought against them and regard being had to the impugned
order of rejection of bail, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage.
5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioners stands rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of.
6. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. A soft copy of this
order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court.
