Opposite Party Represented By Adv. – Mr. D.K. Sahoo, AGA CORAM: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADITYA KUMAR MOHAPATRA ORDER 23.04.2026 Order No. 01. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode). 2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner as well as learned Additional Standing Counsel appearing for the State-Opposite Party. 3. The present application has been filed under Section 482 of B.N.S.S., 2023 by the Petitioner seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Parjang P.S. Case No.433 of 2025, corresponding to G.R. Case No.535 of 2025, pending in the court of learned J.M.F.C., Parjang, registered for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 126(2)/296/76/324(2)/351(2)/3(5) of B.N.S. 2023. 4. It is stated by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that there exist a family dispute between the Petitioner’s family and Page 2 of 3. the Informant’s family. He further contended that both the father and son have been implicated in the present case at the instance of the Informant. Referring to the allegation made in the F.I.R. learned counsel for the Petitioner contended that so far the allegation of Section 76 of BNS is concerned, the same is against one Pramod Rout, the son of the present Petitioner. So far the Petitioner is concerned, it is alleged that he had abused the Informant in filthy language and threatened her. He further contended that the Petitioner does not have any criminal antecedent and that he belongs to the locality, therefore, there is no chance of his absconding. On such ground, learned counsel for the Petitioner submitted that the Petitioner be released on pre-arrest bail on any stringent terms and conditions. 5. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, objected to the release of the Petitioner on pre-arrest bail on the ground that the investigation is still on and that in the event the Petitioner is released on pre-arrest bail, there is every likelihood that he might abscond from justice which would cause delay in conclusion of the investigation. 6. Considering such submissions, I am not inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to the Petitioner. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the Court in seisin over the matter within a period of four weeks from today and moves an application for bail, the Court in seisin over the matter shall release him on bail in connection with the aforesaid case on such terms and conditions as it may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, but subject to verification of Page 3 of 3. criminal antecedent of the Petitioner. In the event it is found by the court below that the Petitioner is having any criminal antecedent, then this order shall automatically stand revoked. Violation of any of the terms and conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. 6. Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
