This is a bail application U/S.483 of the BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Sindhikela PS Case No. 290 of 2023 corresponding to SC Case No.18 of 2024 pending in the Court of learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Kantabanji for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 452/302/307/120(B) of IPC, on the main allegation of committing murder of one Rakhad Thapa and attempting to the life Khirod Thappa by assaulting them with iron rods, along with co-accused persons in furtherance of their common intention. 3. Heard, Mr. Susanta Kumar Tripathy, learned counsel for the Petitioners in BLAPL Nos. 206, 327 & 851 of 2026; Mr. Subodh Kumar Mohanty, learned counsel for the Petitioner in BLAPL No. 13793 of 2025 and Mr. S.C. Pradhan, learned Addl. PP in the matter and perused the record. 4. After having considered the rival submissions upon perusal of record, there appears allegation against the Petitioners for committing murder of the deceased as well as attempting to the life of the injured, but detail and meticulous analysis of evidence on merit should be avoided at the stage of consideration of bail. In the aforesaid backdrop and principle and taking into account the nature and gravity of the offence as alleged against the petitioners vis-a-vis the accusations sought to be brought against them and regard being had to the evidence of witnesses so far examined, more particularly that of PW4 and keeping in view the other circumstances on record in entirety, this Court does not consider it proper to grant bail to the Petitioners at this stage. 5. Hence, these four bail applications of the petitioners stand rejected. Accordingly, these BLAPL Nos.206 of 2026, 13793 of 2025, 327 & 851 of 2026 stand disposed of. A soft copy of this order be immediately transmitted to the learned trial Court. (G. Satapathy) Judge Priyajit
