p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No.2976 of 2026 Panchanan Bisoi …. Petitioner(s) Mr. Amulya Ratna Panda, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha …. Opposite Party(s) Mr. Partha Sarathi Nayak, AGA CORAM: JUSTICE SIBO SANKAR MISHRA Order No. ORDER 01.05.2026 01. 1. Heard. 2. The petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Jagatpur P.S. Case No.257 of 2023 corresponding to G.R. (Spl.) Case No.16 of 2023 registered for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 20(b)(ii)(C) of the N.D.P.S. Act, pending in the Court of the learned 2nd Additional District & Sessions Judge, Cuttack 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner, on instruction from the petitioner, submits that except the present bail application, no other bail application of the petitioner is pending in any other Court relating to the aforesaid F.I.R. p. 2 4. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 21.02.2026 whereby his application for grant of interim bail on the ground that his wife is ill, has been rejected. The learned trial Court, while rejecting the interim bail, has categorically mentioned that the petitioner is relying upon the medical documents of his wife, which is more than 7 months old and no fresh documents have been filed. 5. Mr. Panda, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he would file fresh documents demonstrating that the wife of the petitioner is ill and she needs immediate medical attention. 6. Mr. Nayak, learned State counsel submits that earlier also the petitioner has been granted interim bail vide order dated 19.11.2024 in BLAPL No.8382 of 2024 by this court. It appears that the petitioner, after availing the interim bail, has already surrendered and thereafter moved repeated the prayer for interim bail. 7. Regard being had to the above submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, although I am not inclined to give indulgence to the petitioner at this p. 3 stage, however, liberty is granted to the petitioner to renew the interim bail plea before the trial Court supported with the recent medical documents to demonstrate that the wife of the petitioner is not keeping well even today. 8. With the aforementioned observation, the ABLAPL is disposed of. (S.S. Mishra) Judge Subhasis Designation: Personal Assistant Location: High Court of Orissa, Cuttack.
