ABLAPL No.12088 of 2016
24.09.2016
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.
The petitioners in this case having been implicated in Town P.S. Case No.195 of 2015 co
rresponding to C.T. Case No.499 of 2015, pending in court of the learned S.D.J.M., Bargarh for
alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 147/148/341/323/294/ 506/149 of I.P.C
., filed this petition for their release on pre-arrest bail.
Regard being had to the facts and submissions, especially the nature of accusation, cir
cumstances in which the offences alleged to have been committed and hardly any material being
there to suggest that the petitioners shall abscond or tamper with the prosecution evidence, i
f allowed to go on pre-arrest bail, I am of the view that this is a fit case to enlarge the pe
titioners on pre-arrest bail.
Hence, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection
with the aforesaid case, they be released on bail by the arresting officer on such terms and c
onditions as he may deem just and proper including the condition that they shall cooperate wit
h the investigation.
Accordingly, the prayer for pre-arrest bail stands allowed and the ABLAPL is disposed
of.
Issue urgent certified copy as per rules.
