p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No.941 of 2026 Alaya Kumar Mohanty …. Petitioner Mr. A. Das, Advocate -Versus- State of Odisha …. Opposite Party Mr. M.K.Mohanty, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 12.02.2026 01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and State. 2. Instant petition has been filed under Section 482 BNSS by the petitioner seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Berhampur P.S. Case No.112 of 2025 corresponding to C.T. Case No.527 of 2025 pending in the court of learned S.D.J.M., Nilgiri on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1 and it reveals that the accused persons snatched away cash of Rs.16,00,000/- from the informant and managed to flee from the spot in their motorcycles. Two of the accused persons earlier approached this Court in ABLAPL No.11068 of 2025 disposed of on 26th November, 2025 with a direction to surrender and move for bail to be considered on its own merit. The petitioner apprehends arrest in connection with the alleged accident but appears to be similarly situated like the other two, who had p. 2 filed ABLAPL. Considering the submissions of the learned counsel for the respective parties and the nature of allegation revealed from Annexure-1, i.e., FIR, this Court is not inclined to grant pre-arrest bail but is of the view that he should equally surrender before the learned court below seeking regular bail like the co-accused persons for its disposal. 4. With the direction as aforesaid, the ABLAPL is disposed of. 5. Issue urgent certified copy of this order as per rules. (R.K. Pattanaik) Judge M.K.Rout
