Case brief
What is this about?
Orissa High Court, Justice V. Narasingh, order dated 15.10.2025 in ABLAPL No. 7836 of 2025 (Ananta Charan Panda, Ajay Kumar Panda & Liza Panda v. State of Odisha): anticipatory bail application concerning G.R. Case No.453 of 2025 / Bolagarh P.S. Case No.139 of 2025, charges under Sections 115(2)/126(2)/296/351(2)/74/3(5) BNS; State counsel reported invocation of Section 35(3) BNSS by the Investigating Agency; application disposed of on the ground of no perceptible threat of arrest; no bail merits adjudicated, no relief granted.
What did the court decide?
Since the Investigating Agency has in the meanwhile resorted to Section 35(3) of the BNSS and there is consequently no perceptible threat of arrest, the anticipatory bail application (ABLAPL) stands disposed of, without adjudication of the bail question on merits. ¶15
