p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No.4207 of 2026 Shriya Kohli …. Petitioner(s) Mr. Biswa Chandan Mohanty, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha …. Opposite Party(s) Mr. Debaraj Mohanty, 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 Raghunathpali P.S. Case No.96 of 2026 corresponding to G.R. Case No.521 of 2026 registered for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 109(1)/115(2)/296 of the BNS, 2023, pending in the Court of the learned S.D.J.M., Rourkela. 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 allegation against the petitioner is that on 20.02.2026 at about 8.00 P.M., the complainant reported at the P.S. that on 05.02.2026, when he along with his sister Ms. Romita Chadha reached near their residence and alighted from their car, his wife Ms. Shriya Kohli, who was speaking with someone over phone, suddenly came in an aggressive manner and started abusing them in filthy and humiliating language saying “main tumhe bhikari bana dungi, tumhara sara paisa and bachon ko lekar chale jaungi.” Thereafter, his wife came and brutally assaulted him and his sister and he sustained injury on the right palm. She forcibly snatched his mobile phone. Within few minutes, she came out driving a Toyota Hilux vehicle and intentionally attempted to run the said vehicle on him with an intention to kill. He narrowly escaped from being hit. Hence, the case. 5. At the instance of the husband of the petitioner, the present F.I.R. has been registered with the above mentioned allegations. p. 3 6. Learned counsel for the State has produced the injury report sustained by Ms. Romita Chadha, who is the sister-in-law of the accused. It appears that the injuries are simple in nature. 7. Perusal of the allegation against the petitioner appears to be arising out of a matrimonial discord. 8. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no allegation against the petitioner. 9. Regard being had to the nature of allegation against the petitioner and the injuries sustained by the injured, I am inclined to grant the petitioner anticipatory bail. Accordingly, it is directed that in the event the petitioner is arrested, she shall be released by the Arresting Officer subject to the verification of the criminal antecedent of similar nature, she shall cooperate with the investigation and shall appear before the I.O. as and when her presence is required for the purpose of investigation; she shall not indulge in similar criminal offences while on bail; she shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date of posting of the case, if not presented by sufficient cause. p. 4 Violation of any of the conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. 10. The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of. (S.S. Mishra) Judge Subhasis Designation: Personal Assistant Location: High Court of Orissa, Cuttack.
