Instant petitions have been filed under Section 482 BNSS by the petitioners seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Nischintakoili P.S. Case No.208 of 2026 corresponding to G.R. Case No.342 of 2026 pending in the file of learned J.M.F.C., Nischintakoili on the grounds stated. p. 2 4. It is informed to the Court that the co-accused persons are on bail. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the co-accused persons have been granted bail vide ABLAPL Nos.6451, 6655, 6474 and 6903 of 2026 and as the petitioners are similarly situated, hence, parity should be extended. It is fairly admitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that each of the petitioners is having criminal antecedents of similar nature. Recorded the objection of the State. It is informed to the Court that 64 cows were kept in a compound without proper shelter and food. But considering the release of other accused persons as made to reveal from the record, this Court, pending investigation, though, not inclined to entertain the bail plea, however, is in favour of directing the petitioners to surrender before the learned court below for being released on the same terms and conditions. 5. Accordingly, it is ordered. 6. In the result, the ABLAPLs are disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. It is further directed that in the event, the petitioners surrender before the court of learned J.M.F.C., Nischintakoili in connection with G.R. Case No.342 of 2026 corresponding to Nischintakoili P.S. Case No.208 of 2026 within a fortnight from today, they shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs.20,000/-(rupees twenty thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount with such other conditions imposed by the court concerned as p. 3 deemed just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. 7. Issue urgent certified copy of this order as per rules. (R.K. Pattanaik) Judge Tudu
