What is this about?

The High Court of Orissa granted pre-arrest bail to petitioner no.2, Bagun Gagrai, implicated in an IPLA case involving IPC offences and state-specific laws related to gambling and animal cruelty, subject to a bail bond and cooperation with investigation, noting petitioner no.2 prayed for release and no material suggested an abscondment.

What did the court decide?

Petitioner no.2 Bagun Gagrai to be released on pre-arrest bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.20,000 with two solvent sureties each for the like amount, subject to cooperation with investigation.

The petitioners in this case having been implicated in Lahunipada P.S. Case No.12 of 2016 corresponding to G.R. Case No.44 of 2016 pending in the court of learned S .D.J.M., Bonai for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 341/ 323/ 337/ 186 / 294/ 420/ 307/ 120B/ 34 of the I.P.C. read with Sections 3 and 7 of the Orissa Prevention of Gambling Act, 1954 and Section 20 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, have fil ed this petition for their release on pre-arrest bail.

So far as petitioner no.2 is concerned, regard being had to the facts and submissions made, especially the nature of accusation and circumstances in which the offen ces alleged to have been committed and hardly any material is there to suggest the fact that t he petitioner no.2 shall abscond and/or tamper with the prosecution evidence, if allowed to go on pre-arrest bail, I am of the view that this is a fit case to enlarge the petitioner no.2 o n pre-arrest bail.

Hence, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitione r no.2-Bagun Gagrai in connection with the aforesaid case, he be released on pre-arrest bail o n his furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) with two solvent sureties e ach for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer with the condition that h e shall co-operate with the investigation. However, it is made clear that if any graver offence is found against the petitioner in this case besides the aforesaid offences, this order shall not be given effe
