p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No. 2572 of 2026 Duryodhan Parida …. Petitioner Mr. S.K. Biswal, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha …. Opposite Party Mr. C.R. Swain, AGA CORAM: JUSTICE V. NARASINGH Order No. ORDER 22.04.2026 01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. The Petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with C.T. Case No. 587 of 2025 pending on the file of learned S.D.J.M, Jajpur, arising out of Jajpur Sadar P.S. Case No. 73 of 2025 for commission of offences punishable under Section 115(2)/ 117(2)/190/191(2)/191(3)/296/351(2)/74 of the BNS Act. 3. This is the third journey of the Petitioner to this Court. 4. Though there is no embargo in filing successive bail applications, it is apt to note that by order dated 02.05.2025 in ABLAPL No.3876 of 2025 while directing release of the other co-accused persons, this Court was not inclined to entertain the p. 2 application for pre-arrest bail of the Petitioner. Thereafter, the Petitioner had moved this Court in ABLAPL No.6553 of 2025 and the same was also rejected by order dated 18.06.2025. 5. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that since charge sheet has already been submitted in the meanwhile, the Petitioner may be protected by pre-arrest bail. 6. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail and submits that the filing of the charge sheet indicates the prima facie case against the Petitioner. Hence, the submission that it’s a change of circumstance, does not clothe the Petitioner with any additional benefit. 7. Considering the nature of allegation, this Court is not inclined to entertain the application for pre- arrest bail. However, it is directed that Petitioner may surrender before the learned S.D.J.M, Jajpur in connection with the aforementioned case within one month from today. In the event of his surrender and motion for bail, the same be considered by the learned S.D.J.M, Jajpur on merits, in the first hour of the day. In the event of rejection of the prayer for bail by the learned S.D.J.M, Jajpur, the Petitioner is at liberty to move the higher forum for bail in the second hour on the same day. p. 3 8. On being so moved, the higher forum is requested to make an endeavor to dispose of the bail application of the Petitioner on the same day. The case diary shall be made available to the concerned courts to facilitate disposal of the bail application of the Petitioner and learned S.D.J.M, Jajpur is called upon to transmit the case record to the higher forum at the earliest in the event of rejection of such bail application. Ground of parity, if any, may be considered by the learned court(s) below. 9. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. 10. U.C.C. as per rules. (V. NARASINGH) Judge Santoshi
