Instant petition under Section 482 BNSS is filed for pre-arrest bail of the petitioners in connection with Cuttack Sadar P.S Case No. 90 of 2026 corresponding to G.R Case No.180 of 2026 pending in the file of learned J.M.F.C. (Rural), Cuttack on the grounds stated therein. 3. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1. This Court directed the parties to go for a mediation. Today, it is informed by learned counsel for the petitioner that the mediation is successful. It is claimed that the payments have been made by the petitioner to the informant. The learned counsel for the informant appears through virtual mode and admits the fact of compromise for having received the payments from the petitioner. In view of the above, this Court is inclined to direct the petitioners to surrender before the learned court below for being released with conditions though his bail plea is entertained. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPL petition stands disposed of with a direction to the petitioners to surrender before learned J.M.F.C.
