Mr. Panda, learned counsel for the State fairly submits that an offence under Section 307 of I.P.C has been deleted. p. 2 The petitioner was not arrested during investigation as revealed from the chargesheet i.e. Annexure-2. On a perusal of the chargesheet dated 4th December, 2020, it is further revealed that the petitioner was not arrested during investigation. It is informed to the Court that the accused-husband is on bail. Considering the above facts and submission of learned counsel for the respective parties and the earlier order in the ABLAPL as at Flag-B, this Court once again directs the petitioner to surrender before the learned court below for being released with conditions. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. In the event, the petitioner surrenders before the court of learned J.M.F.C., Basta, Balasore, it is directed that she shall be released on bail in connection with C.T.
