NARASINGH Order No. ORDER 21.04.2026 01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. The Petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.98 of 2026 pending on the file of learned J.M.F.C. (Rural) Cog. Berhampur, Ganjam arising out of Golanthara P.S. Case No.30 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 109/ 115(2)/ 118(1)/ 126(2)/ 3(5)/ 303(2)/ 351(2) of the BNS. 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that omnibus allegations have been made notwithstanding that the Petitioner is a named accused. Hence, the Petitioner may be protected by pre-arrest bail. 4. Such submission is opposed by the learned counsel for the State, inter alia, on the ground that taking into account the nature of allegation since the p. 2 all the accused persons came in a body to commit the offence, it is not possible to segregate the role ascribed to the Petitioner. 5. This Court perused the statement of the injured, Bhabagrahi Gouda @ Kanha Gouda along with the injury report. 6. Considering the same, this Court directs that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioner shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed just and proper subject to verification of criminal antecedent of similar nature. 7. If it comes to the fore that the Petitioner has any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to. 8. It is needless to state that the Petitioner shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation. 9. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. 10. U.C.C. as per rules. (V. NARASINGH) Judge Santoshi
