Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners and learned Additional Standing Counsel appearing for the Opposite Party-State. 3. The present application has been filed under Section 482 of B.N.S.S. by the Petitioners seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Banpur P.S. Case No.81 of 2026, corresponding to G.R. Case No.125 of 2026, pending in the court of learned J.M.F.C., Banpur, for alleged commission of offence punishable under Section 115(2), 296, 3(5), 303(2) and 74 of BNS. 4. Considering the nature of allegation, gravity of offence and the surrounding facts of the case, I am not inclined to grant pre-arrest Page 2 of 2. bail to the Petitioners. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioners surrender before the Court in seisin over the matter within a period of three weeks from today and move an application for bail, the Court in seisin over the matter shall release them on bail in connection with the aforesaid case on such terms and conditions as it may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, but subject to verification of criminal antecedent of the Petitioners. In the event it is found by the learned court below that the Petitioners are having any similar criminal antecedent, then this order shall automatically stand revoked. Violation of any of the terms and conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. 5. Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
