IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No. 2100 of 2026 Md.Israil @ Israil Mohammad …. Petitioner Mr. B.R.Mohanty, Advocate -Versus- State of Odisha …. Opposite Party Mr. M.K.Mohanty, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 21.04.2026 03. 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed seeking pre-arrest bail of the petitioner in connection with Salipur P.S. Case No.72 of 2026 pending in the file of learned JMFC, Salipur corresponding to G.R. Case No.68 of 2026 on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. The Court finds that the petitioner was with the Truck at the relevant point of time when it was intercepted but found to have produced a Transit Permit which lacked the features of an original permit and also his statement did not match and hence, the report. The petitioner was not arrested in connection with the case even though he was with the vehicle. Considering the above facts and submissions of learned counsel for the respective parties and since it is claimed that the petitioner is having no other similar antecedent, the Court is inclined to direct him to surrender before the Court of learned JMFC, Salipur as it is not inclined to entertain his plea for pre-arrest bail. 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 JMFC, Salipur within a fortnight from today, it is directed that he shall be released on bail in connection with Salipur P.S. Case No.72 of 2026 corresponding to G.R. Case No.68 of 2026 on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.30,000/-(rupees thirty thousand) with one solvent surety for the like amount with such other conditions imposed by the court concerned as deemed just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. 6. Issue urgent certified copy of this order as per rules. (R.K. Pattanaik) Judge kabita
