¶3

Pursuant to the direction of this Court dated 28.11.2019, the Investigating Officer concerned is present along with the Case Diary and he has also filed a receipt showing deposit of Rs.20,000/- before the Orissa State Legal Services Authority, which be kept on record. Since the order of this Court has already been complied with by the Investigating Officer concerned, his personal appearance stands dispensed with.

¶4

The petitioner in this case having been implicated in Baideswar P.S. Case No.66 of 2019 corresponding to G.R. Case No.305 of 2019, pending in court of the learned S.D.J.M., Banki for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 363, 366-A/34 of I.P.C., has filed this petition for his release on pre-arrest bail.

¶5

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

¶6

Perused the statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 of Cr.P.C. which indicates that the victim was in love with the nephew of the present petitioner with whom she proceeded from place to place and stayed with him, but he did not allow the victim to talk with her family members, but later on with the help of the Child Care Unit the victim was rescued. Investigation in this case has substantially progressed. Nothing is there on record indicating the fact that the petitioner shall abscond and/or tamper with the prosecution evidence, if allowed to go on pre-arrest bail.

¶7

Considering the aforesaid facts and submissions made, especially the nature of accusation, character of

supportive materials appearing against the petitioner in support of the charge, circumstances in which the offences stated to have been committed, factum of substantial progress in the investigation, coupled with the fact that the petitioner at large shall not make any hindrance to the investigation and collection of materials, this Court is of the view that the petitioner in this case deserves to be released on pre-arrest bail, more so when this Court feels that the petitioner has hardly any chance of abscondance, if released on pre-arrest bail.

¶10

Hence, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioner in connection with the aforesaid case, he be released on bail by the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he may deem just and proper.

The ABLAPL is, accordingly, disposed of being allowed.
