Instant petitions have been filed under Section 482 BNSS by the petitioners seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Jhirpani P.S. Case No.89 of 2026 on the grounds stated. 4. Recorded the submissions of learned counsel for the respective parties. Gone through the FIR as at Annexure-1 and therein, the alleged incident has been described. Mr. Parida, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that there is altercation between the petitioners and others with the local police and ultimately, the FIR was lodged by the informant. It is informed to the Court that no member of the police force on duty at the relevant point of time received any serious injury. Mr. Lenka, learned ASC for the State informs the Court that the informant received an injury on his eye but stated to be simple in nature referring to the medical examination report received by him. The said report is produced along with the case diary. It is also informed to the Court by Mr. Parida, learned counsel that none of the petitioners is having any other criminal antecedent. Considering the circumstances under which the alleged occurrence took place and described in the FIR and thereafter, it was followed by altercation and tussle between the accused persons and the local police, this Court, though not in favour of entertaining their bail plea, is inclined to direct all to surrender before the learned court below for being released with suitable conditions. 5. Accordingly, it is ordered. p. 3 6. In the result, ABLAPLs are disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. In the event, the petitioners surrender before the learned court below in connection with Jhirpani P.S.
