THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANANDA CHANDRA BEHERA

ORDER

04.12.2024

Order No.

1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

¶15

The bail application under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C., 1973 filed by the petitioner arising out of Hemagiri PS Case No.237 of 2024 corresponding to GR Case No.234 of 2024 and subsequently turned to ST No.150/59/24 pending in the court of learned CJMCum-Asst. Sessions Judge, Sundargarh is taken up into consideration.

¶16

The petitioner has been charge-sheeted under Sections 458, 324, 307 & 506 of the IPC, 1860 on the allegations of attempting to commit murder of the informant giving shock through live electric wire.

¶17

¶18

I have already heard from the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State.

¶19

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted for liberal consideration of his bail contending that, the petitioner is in jail custody since 14.05.2024 and in the meantime, charge-sheet has already been submitted, to which, learned additional standing counsel vehemently objected contending that, as the petitioner was attempting to commit murder of the informant giving shock through live electric wire, but unfortunately her life has been saved, for which, in these heinous nature of allegations, he (petitioner) should not be allowed to go on bail.

¶20

When the petitioner is in jail custody for about 6 months and when during the staying of the petitioner inside the jail, the investigation of the case has already been completed, then at this juncture, by taking the above factors into account, I find no justification to disallow the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

¶21

Therefore, the bail application filed by the petitioner is allowed.

¶22

He (petitioner) is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.50,000/-(rupees fifty thousand) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin over the matter with conditions that :-

¶24

(i) he (petitioner) shall not involve with similar nature of crime in future;

¶25

(ii) he shall appear before the Trial Court personally on each date of adjournment of the case without fail till the conclusion of trial;

¶26

(iii) he shall not terrorize, coerce, influence or threat any witnesses of the prosecution including the informant and her family members either directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever at any stage of the proceeding of the case, but in case of his failure to comply any of the aforesaid conditions, the court in seisin over the matter is authorized to cancel his bail order out-rightly without seeking any permission for the same from this Court.

¶27

Accordingly, the bail application filed by the petitioner is disposed of finally.

¶28

Grant certified copy of this order to the petitioner on proper application.
