One of the accused persons, namely, Ganeswar Samantasinghar was released by the Court’s order dated 12th January, 2026 extending parity as he was similarly situated like the other accused persons, who were granted bail by the Court’s order dated 3rd December, 2025 as at Annexure-2 (Flag-A). 5.

The Court further finds that in the meantime, the chargesheet is filed on 10th December, 2025. The names of the petitioners are not mentioned in the FIR i.e. Annexure-1 as rightly pointed out by learned counsel appearing for them.
