ORDER 07.04.2026
I.A.No. 536 of 2026
02.
1. Though the matter is not listed today, on being mentioned by learned counsel for the petitioners, it is taken up on Board by a Special Notice.
2. Heard Mr. Behera, learned counsel for the petitioners.
3. Instant I.A. is filed seeking modification of the Court’s
order in ABLAPL No. 1621 of 2026. The direction is for
consideration of bail plea of the petitioners in the light of the decision in Pramod Kumar Ray and others Vrs. State of Odisha (2017) 67 OCR 309 without any direction for submission of the relevant record at the time of final hearing by the learned Special Court and hence, modification is sought for. Considering the submission of learned counsel for the petitioners and for the reason stated therein, the I.A. is allowed.
4. Consequently, the Court’s order dated 23rd March, 2026 in ABLAPL No. 1621 of 2026 stands modified with a direction that at the time of hearing, the medical examination report, if any and the case diary shall be made available to the Court concerned for its consideration in order to avoid delay in disposal of their bail plea.
5. The stipulated time during which the petitioners were
directed to surrender has already expired and considering the same and the reason assigned for the default on his part and recording the objection of the State, this Court is inclined to extend the period of surrender.
6. I.A. is accordingly allowed and disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to surrender before the learned court below within a fortnight from today in compliance of the order in the ABLAPL. It is made clear that no further extension shall be allowed in future.
7. I.A. is disposed of accordingly.
8. Issue urgent certified copy of this order as per rules.
(R.K. Pattanaik) Judge Kabita
