JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 30.06.2026 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 with Puri Town P.S. Case No.268 of 2026 corresponding to G.R. Case No.642 of 2026 pending in the file of learned S.D.J.M., Puri on the grounds stated therein. 3. Perused the FIRs as at Annexure 1 and 2. For the same incident, both the FIRs have been lodged by the parties. Referring to Annexure-3, it is claimed that one of the accused persons has been granted bail. It is also claimed that a compromise has been reached at between the parties as revealed from Annexure-3 itself. The submission is that no serious injury has been caused to the informant’s son even though a case under Section 118(2) of the BNS is registered. Recorded the objection of the learned counsel for the State. From Annexure-3, this Court finds that while releasing the co- accused, namely, Gopal Barik, learned Sessions Court has recorded the claim of compromise contemplated between the parties with an affidavit filed in that regard. Considering the p. 2 above facts and the FIRs have been lodged against each other with such a compromise having been arrived at in the meantime with release of one of the accused above named, this Court is inclined to direct the petitioner to surrender before the learned Court below to go on bail subject to following conditions though not in favour of entertaining his bail plea. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of. In the event, the petitioner surrenders before the court of learned S.D.J.M., Puri within a fortnight from today, it is directed that he shall be released on bail in connection with G.R. Case No.642 of 2026 corresponding to Puri Town P.S. Case No.268 of 2026 on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.20,000/-(rupees twenty thousand) with one solvent surety for the like amount with such other conditions imposed as deemed just and proper but upon confirmation of such compromise with a notice to the informant. 6.
