ORDER 13.07.2026
01.
1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties.
2. Instant petition has been filed under Section 482 BNSS by the petitioners seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Nischintakoili P.S. Case No. 219 of 2026 corresponding to G.R. Case No.362 of 2026 pending in the file of learned J.M.F.C., Nischintakoili on the grounds stated.
3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. Recorded the
submissions of learned counsel for the respective parties. The copies of the bail orders in respect of the co-accused persons are produced by learned counsel for the petitioners. The copies of the bail orders are at Flag-A1 and A2. It is submitted that the petitioners are similarly situated, hence, parity should be extended. With the objection of the State noted down and the fact that the case has been registered for illicit transportation of cattle but then in the meantime, some of the accused persons p. 2 are on bail pursuant to the orders in the ABLAPLs (supra), this Court is inclined to apply parity and direct their release on similar terms and conditions.
4. Accordingly, it is ordered.
5. In the result, the ABLAPL is 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.
