The gist of the allegation in the FIR is that on 28.02.2026 in the earlier hours of the morning, some unknown miscreants in a vehicle bearing Regd. No. AS-17G-8576, tried to steal cows and upon raising hue and cry, they fled away and subsequently hit a road side tree after travelling some distance. As revealed above, no persons are named in the FIR. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner drawing attention to a transport document submits that the owner of the said vehicle mentioned in the FIR is one Sakir Hussain and that the present petitioner had made an agreement with the said Sakir Hussain for purchase of the vehicle but it has not yet been transferred due his financial difficulties. It is submitted that after the vehicle got implicated, the owner, is trying to rope in the present petitioner and in this backdrop he seeking protection from this Court. 5. On 25.08.2026, the petitioner was granted interim bail with conditions. 6. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has cooperated with the investigation and has appeared before the I/O and his statement has been recorded. That, he has also complied with the conditions. 7. The case diary, as called for, has been received. 8. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor fairly submits that pursuant to grant of interim bail, the petitioner has appeared before the I/O and his statement has been recorded. It is also submitted that the investigation has found implications against the petitioner as well. It is further submitted that Page No.# 3/3 there is reasonable progress in the investigation but the purported agreement between the petitioner and a person with regard to the vehicle is yet to be seized. 9. I have perused the relevant portions of the case diary. I have given my anxious consideration to the matter. This Court is of the view that considering the progress of investigation and cooperation rendered by the petitioner, his interim bail need not be cancelled, despite the investigation revealing implications against him, as well. 10. Accordingly, the interim bail vide dated 25.08.2026 is hereby made absolute subject to the conditions – that the petitioner shall co-operate with remaining investigation; that the petitioner shall not engage in any illegal activities or offenses; and that the petitioner shall not hamper or tamper with evidence. 11. Violation or breach of condition(s) shall entail cancellation of the bail. 12. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. 13. Send back the case diary. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
