It is submitted to the Court by learned counsels for the petitioners that there is a land dispute between the parties and in that connection, the alleged incident said to have taken place. The further submission is that even though a case under Section 109(1) BNS has been registered, no one from the side of the informant received any grievous injury, hence, considering the same and absence of previous antecedents, they should be allowed to go on bail with conditions. 5. Recorded the objection of the State. 6. Mr. Mohanty, learned ASC produced the case diary with the statements of the witnesses recorded under Section 180 BNSS and also medical examination reports of the injured. On perusal of said the reports, the Court finds that none of the victims received any grievous injury as all are either swelling or abrasions stated to be simple in nature besides one of them receiving an incised wound. The said incised injury is also stated to be simple in nature. From the case diary, the Court finds that there is a dispute pending between the parties, hence, alleged incident. The names of the petitioners and other accused persons are mentioned in the F.I.R. Considering the materials on record, absence of any grievous injury received by the victims medically examined on police requisition, this Court though not in favour of entertaining their plea for pre- arrest bail but is inclined to direct all of them to surrender p. 3 before the learned court below for being released with stringent conditions. 7. Accordingly, it is ordered. 8. In the result, the ABLAPLs are disposed of. Consequently, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the court of learned JMFC, Chhendipada in connection with G.R. Case No.176 of 2026 arising out of Chhendipada P.S. Case No.67 of 2026 within a fortnight from today for being released on bail upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (rupees twenty five thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount each with such other conditions besides the following such as, they shall not commit any further mischief involving informant and other family members in any manner whatsoever while on bail and to furnish an undertaking in that regard at the local P.S. and also to co-operate the I.O. in the investigation as and when summoned without fail. 9.
