ORDER(ORAL) 10.02.2026
01.
1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).
2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of the BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Khurda PS Case No.94 of 2013 corresponding to GR Case No.388 of 2013 pending in the Court of learned CJM-cum-Asst. Sessions Judge, Khurda for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.120(B)/407/409/109 of IPC r/w Section 7 of the EC Act.
3. Heard, Mr. Jyotirmaya Sahoo, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. T.K. Acharya, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record.
4. Admittedly, this is a bail jump case and the petitioner was apprehended on 17.12.2025 for the NBWA issued on 16.02.2024. In the meantime, the petitioner must have felt the rigor of law by remaining in custody for flouting the orders of the Court. In that view of the matter and taking a lenient view, this Court
without expressing any view on merits admits the petitioner to bail.
5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands allowed and the petitioner is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) only with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it with following conditions:-
(i) The petitioner shall cooperate in the trial by attending the Court on each date of posting unless his attendance is dispensed with by the learned trial Court and
(ii) In case the petitioner fails without sufficient cause to appear in the Court in accordance with the terms of the bail, the learned trial Court may proceed against the Petitioner for offence U/S.269 of BNS, 2023 in accordance with law.
6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. A soft copy of this order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court, who shall afterwards communicate the same to the concerned Jail through e- mail for reference.
