Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned

counsel for the State.

The

petitioners

apprehending

their

arrest

in

Khantapada P.S. Case No.46 of 2021 corresponding to C.T.

Case No.143 of 2021 pending in the court of learned

J.M.F.C(R), Balasore registered for alleged commission of

offences punishable under Sections 341/294/323/324/354-

B/307/34 IPC have filed this petition for their release on

pre-arrest bail.

On consideration of the allegations made in the F.I.R.

and also the submissions made, especially the nature and

character of allegations including the alleged offence under

Section 307 IPC, circumstances in which the offences stated

to have been committed and also it being not disputed that

the petitioners’ release on pre-arrest bail shall not be a

hindrance to the free and fair investigation, this Court is of

the view that the petitioners have made out a case for their

release on pre-arrest bail, more particularly when they are

ready and willing to cooperate with the investigation and

they have no chance of absconding and/or tampering with

the prosecution evidence, if released on pre-arrest bail.

Hence,
