,
02. I.A. No.73 of 2025
1. This application has been filed by the petitioner for modification of the order dated 02.01.2025 passed in CRLMC No. 4704 of 2024.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this Court while disposing of the CRLMC vide order dated 02.01.2025, some typographical error was there in paragraphs-3 and 7 of the said order. In view of the confusion, the petitioner could not surrender before the courts below. Hence, he seeks correction.
3. For the reasons stated in the application, paragraphs-3 and 7 of the order dated 02.01.2025 passed by this Court in CRLMC No. 4704 of 2024 is modified and paragraphs-3 and 7 of the said order are replaced by the following orders:-
"3. The petitioner is one of the accused in connection with Balipatna P.S. Case No.10 of 2013 registered under Sections 147/148/341/294/307/302/427/149 of the IPC
// 2 //
corresponding to G.R. Case No. 43A of 2013 pending in the court of learned JMFC (O), Bhubaneswar. After investigation, the preliminary charge sheets had been submitted on 16.05.2013, 06.10.2013 and 21.10.2013 qua the other accused persons. Final charge sheet in this case has been submitted on 28.10.2017 under Sections 147/148/307/302/120-B/149 of the IPC showing the present petitioner as an absconder. Subsequent thereto, on 15.12.2017, the learned court below has taken cognizance of offences as mentioned above against the petitioner. The petitioner is assailing the said cognizance order on the ground that three of the co-accused persons, who had faced trial, have already been acquitted by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Bhubaneswar in S.T. Case No.109 of 2014 vide judgment dated 13.07.2016."
7. In view of the aforementioned, the petitioner may be entitled for grant of bail, but inevitable on his part to face the trial. Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this petition and direct the petitioner to surrender/appear before the learned courts below on or before 15.02.2025 and face the trial. The petitioner may apply for grant of regular bail before the courts below. If any such application is moved by the petitioner, the same shall be decided by the courts below on its merit on the same day taking into consideration the observation made by the learned trial Court in its judgment dated 13.07.2016 by maintaining parity. Since the present case pertaining to year 2013, it is expected that the learned trial court would do well to see that the trial be concluded as expeditiously as possible."
4. Rest part of the order dated 02.01.2025 remains unaltered. It is made clear that no further extension shall be granted to the petitioner.
5. With the above modification, the I.A. stands disposed of.
