Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed seeking pre-arrest bail of the petitioners in connection with G.R. Case No.129 of 2026 pending in the file of learned S.D.J.M., Puri arising out of Puri Town P.S. Case No.52 of 2026 on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIRs as at Annexures-I and II. Referring to the medical papers as at Annexure-III in respect of petitioner No.2, it is submitted that the said accused received injury instead. The medical examination report of the informant is produced by learned counsel for the State and the same is gone through. The report does not reveal any visible injury received by the informant. It is informed to the Court that the informant is the sister-in-law of the petitioners. The Court finds all the p. 2 offences are bailable in nature except the one under Section 74 BNS. It is made to reveal that in course of events, the excess has been allegedly committed by the petitioners. It is claimed that it was a mischief without any real intention to outrage modesty of the informant. Considering the submissions as above and having regard to the nature of allegations revealed from the FIR, the lodging of the counter FIR from the side of the petitioners, this Court though not inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to any of them but is of the view that they should be directed to surrender before the learned court below for being released with suitable conditions imposed. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. In the event, the petitioners surrenders before the court of learned S.D.J.M., Puri in connection with G.R. Case No.129 of 2026 corresponding to Puri Town P.S.
