This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode). 2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned Additional Government Advocate for the State. Perused the Anticipatory Bail Application as well as the F.I.R. 3. This is an application under Section 482 of B.N.S.S filed by the Petitioner for anticipatory bail, involving offence punishable under Sections 126(1), 118(2), 109(1), 351(3), 3(5) of BNS and Section 25 & 27 of Arms Act in C.T Case No.115 of 2026 of the Court of learned J.M.F.C. (Rural), Balasore arising out of Remuna P.S Case No.32 of 2026. 4. It is stated by learned counsel for the Petitioner that the Petitioner has not been named in the FIR. She further contended that due to a family rivalry between the two groups, the Petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. She further contended that no case is made out against the present Petitioner on Page 2 of 2. a plain reading of the FIR. 5. Considering the seriousness of the allegation, gravity of the offence and the facts of the case, although I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioner, however it is observed that, in the event the Petitioner surrenders and moves for bail before the learned court in seisin over the matter within a period of three weeks from today, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as the learned Magistrate may deem just and proper. Violation of any of the terms and conditions shall entail cancellation of the bail. 6. It is further directed that the bail granted to the Petitioner shall be subject to the verification of his criminal antecedent. In the event, the Petitioner is having more than one similar criminal antecedent, then this order shall stand automatically revoked. 7. The ABLAPL is disposed of accordingly. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted as per rules. ( A.K. Mohapatra) Judge Anil Designation: Junior Stenographer
