Additional Standing Counsel appearing for the State-Opposite Party.
3. The present application has been filed under Section 438 of
Cr.P.C. by the Petitioner seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with
C.I.D. (CB), Cuttack P.S. Case No.12 of 2023, corresponding to
G.R. Case No.612 of 2023, pending in the court of learned J.M.F.C.,
Chandbali, for alleged commission of offences punishable under
Sections 419/420/465/467/468/471/506/120-B of I.PC.
4. Considering the nature of allegation, gravity of offence and the

Court in seisin over the matter shall release him on bail in connection
with the aforesaid case on such terms and conditions as it may deem
just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, but subject
to verification of criminal antecedent of the Petitioner. In the event
it is found by the court below that the Petitioner is having any similar
criminal antecedent, then this order shall automatically stand
revoked. While imposing conditions, the court below shall also
impose conditions whereby the Petitioner shall cooperate with the
investigation and shall appear before the I.O. as and when his
presence is required by the I.O. for the purpose of investigation; and
he shall appear before the trial court on each and every date of
posting of the case, if not prevented by sufficient cause; and he shall
not indulge in similar criminal offences while on bail. Violation of
any of the terms and conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.
5. Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of.
