Lenka, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 01.07.2026 02. 1. Heard learned counsels for the respective parties. 2. Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed by the petitioners seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Marsaghai P.S. Case No.0203 of 2026 corresponding to G.R. Case No.1185 of 2026 pending in the file of learned S.D.J.M., Kendrapara arising on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. The case diary is submitted and the same is gone through. Along with the case diary, the injury report is made available and it reveals that the victim received a cut injury stated to be grievous. It is informed to the Court that the said injury has been caused by petitioner No.2. Such is the submission of learned counsel for the petitioners admitting that the accused is having antecedents. It is also fairly admitted that petitioner No.1 is having one antecedent, whereas, petitioner No.3 has none. Recorded the objection of Mr. Brahma, learned ASC for the State. In so far as, petitioner No.2 is concerned, his bail plea is not pressed but for petitioner Nos.1 and 3, Mr. Dash, learned counsel pleads for release with stringent conditions imposed. Considering the submissions as above, the case diary and other materials and that petitioner No.2 is alleged to be assailant causing the grievous injury to the victim, this Court though not in favour of entertaining the bail plea in respect of petitioner Nos.1 and 3 but is inclined to direct them to surrender before the learned court below for being released with stringent conditions. 4. The ABLAPL vis-à-vis petitioner No.2 stands dismissed for not being pressed. As to petitioner Nos.1 and 3, it is directed by this Court that they shall surrender before the learned court of learned S.D.J.M., Kendrapara within a fortnight from today in connection with Marsaghai P.S. Case No.0203 of 2026 corresponding to G.R.

It is directed that the said petitioners shall furnish undertaking before the court below not commit any further mischief involving the informant in any manner, whatsoever, while on bail and to cooperate the I.O. and to attend the PS once in a fortnight for the purpose of investigation till the same is concluded. 5.
