IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK BLAPL No.191 of 2026 Ranu Garada … Petitioner Mr. S.K. Zafarulla, Advocate -versus- State of Orissa … Opposite Party Mr. C. Mohanty, Addl. PP CORAM: JUSTICE G. SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER(ORAL) 19.02.2026 01. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode). 2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Narayanpatna PS Case No.30 of 2025 corresponding to CT Case No.132 of 2025 pending in the file of learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Koraput for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.191(2)(3)/ 296/ 115(2)/ 351(2)/ 109/ 190 of BNS, on the main allegation of rioting, along with co-accused persons being armed with deadly weapons by forming an unlawful assembly and assaulting one Chintu Kanta and others in prosecution of their common object resulting in death of Chintu Kanta and injuries to others. 3. Heard Mr. S.K. Zafarulla, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. C. Mohanty, learned Addl. PP in the matter and perused the record. 4. Bail is mainly sought for to the petitioner on the main ground of absence of specific allegation against the petitioner, rather for omnibus allegation against him, but the bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court in BLAPL No.7558 of 2025 and in the meantime, there is no supervening circumstance to consider the bail application of the petitioner afresh. Further, the name of the petitioner finds place in the FIR, along with others and there is allegation against him and others for assaulting the deceased and some others. In such view of the matter and after having considered the rival submissions and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the petitioner vis-a- vis the allegations sought to be brought against the petitioner and regard being had to the materials collected in support of the allegation against the petitioner and keeping in view the circumstance under which one person was done to death and some persons were inflicted with injuries, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. 5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A soft copy of the order be immediately communicated to the learned trial Court. (G. Satapathy) Judge Jayakrushna
