MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK
Order No.
ORDER 01.07.2026
01.
1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties.
2. Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed for pre-arrest bail of the petitioners in connection with Nischintakoili P.S. Case No.201 of 2026 corresponding to G.R Case No.333 of 2026 pending in the file of learned J.M.F.C., Nischintakoili on the grounds stated therein.
3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. The report reveals that 124 calves were kept in the backyard of the house of petitioner No.1. It is submitted to the Court that the villagers had kept the calves and the petitioners were not entirely responsible for the same. It is also claimed that another accused is on bail by this Court’s order in ABLAPL No.6368 of 2026. A copy of the said order is at Flag-B. It is fairly admitted that the petitioners are having antecedents. Recorded the objection of the learned counsel for the State. It is alleged in the FIR that the cattle were exposed to scorching heat and kept without any provision of proper food and water for them. Considering the p. 2 allegations therein and recovery of the calves, this Court, in view of the fact that the petitioners are having antecedents, is not inclined to entertain their bail plea, however, allows them to surrender before the learned Court below for being released with stringent conditions applying parity as the co-accused, namely, Sk. Ajgar Alli is on bail pursuant to the order dated 17.06.2026 in ABLAPL No.6368 of 2026.
4. Accordingly, it is ordered.
5. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of. It is directed that in the event, the petitioners surrender before the learned J.M.F.C., Nischintakoili in connection with Nischintakoili P.S. Case No.201 of 2026 corresponding to G.R. Case No.333 of 2026 within a fortnight from today, they shall be released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.30,000/-(thirty thousand only) each with one solvent surety for the like amount and on such other terms and conditions as deemed just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case besides furnishing an undertaking not to be involved in such criminal activities in future.
6. Issue urgent certified copy as per rules.
