IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No. 520 of 2026 Aparna Mohanty …. Petitioner Mr. S.K. Baral, Advocate -Versus- State of Odisha …. Opposite Party Mrs. S. Mohanty, ASC CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 27.01.2026 01. 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 G.R Case No.90 (A) of 2014 pending in the file of learned S.D.J.M., Jagatsinghpur arising out of Balikuda P.S. Case No.20 of 2014 on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1 series and also the chargesheet. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is no allegation against the present accused as the assault is entirely directed against one Rakesh Parida. The name of the said accused has been disclosed by the injured. A copy of the statement of the injured recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C as at Annexure-1 series is produced and the same is gone through. Admittedly on a reading of the same, the name of the petitioner is not mentioned therein rather the above named accused, who caused the assault by means of a sharp weapon. Nevertheless, the petitioner has been chargesheeted being involved in the alleged incident. The reason behind the petitioner having been chargesheeted is submitted to the Court by learned counsel appearing for her with reference to the chargesheet filed in the year 2015. It is claimed that the petitioner was summoned and in the meantime, non-bailable warrant of arrest is stated to have been issued against her pending execution. Recorded the objection of the State. From the medical examination report, a copy of which is at Annexure-1 series, reveals the injuries to be grievous. But having regard to the fact that the allegation is entirely against the above named accused and not the petitioner, who has been chargesheeted, recording the objection of the State, this Court though not inclined to grant her pre-arrest bail but is of the view that she should be directed to surrender before the learned court below with conditions imposed. 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 S.D.J.M., Jagatsinghpur within a fortnight from today, it is directed that she shall be released on bail in connection with G.R Case No.90 (A) of 2014 corresponding to Balikuda P.S. Case No.20 of 2014 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 and in the facts and circumstances of the case. 6. Issue urgent certified copy of this order as per rules. (R.K. Pattanaik) Judge Rojina Designation: Junior Stenographer
