Lenka, ASC And ABLAPL No.7806 of 2026 Salma Bibi ..... Petitioner Mr. P.K. Barik, Advocate -Versus- State Of Odisha ..... Opposite Party Mr. S.K. Lenka, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 13.07.2026 01. 1. Both the ABLAPLs are taken up together for orders. 2. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 3. In ABLAPL No.7591 of 2026, the bail plea vis-à-vis petitioner No.2 is not pressed, hence, the petition as against him is disposed of as being withdrawn. p. 2 4. Perused the F.I.R. is at Annexure-1. It is informed that petitioner no.1 in ABLAPL No.7591 of 2026 is having antecedents. No instruction is available against the accused, namely, Salma Bibi in connected ABLAPL about her antecedent. The allegation is about transportation of twenty- three cows in pick-up van. Recorded the objection of the State. The F.I.R. reveals that the cows were being transported in a cruel manner. Considering the fact that one of the accused persons is a lady and though there is antecedent in respect of petitioner No.1 in ABLAPL No.7591 of 2026 with the objection of the State being noted down, this Court is not in favour of entertaining the bail plea, however, allows both to surrender before the learned court below for being released with stringent conditions. 5. Accordingly, it is ordered. 6. In the result, both the ABLAPLs are disposed of. It is directed that in the event, the petitioners (excluding petitioner No.2 in ABLAPL No.7591 of 2026) surrender before the learned J.M.F.C.-I, Bhadrak in connection with Puruna Bazar P.S.
