Page No.# 2/3 This is an application under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 praying for grant of bail to the accused/petitioner, namely, Ridip Talukdar @ Ridip Talukder, in connection with Dispur P.S. Case No. 552/2025, under Sections 69/89/318(4) of the BNS, 2023. It is submitted by Mr. P. Borthakur, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam that the case diary is not received and the I.O. has prayed for some more time to produce the same. In that context, Mr. B. Chowdhury, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the accused is in the custody for 38 days and the I.O. has got sufficient opportunity to interrogate the present accused petitioner. It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that there was love relationship in between the accused petitioner and the victim and since 2021, they were in live-in relationship and being a major, the victim girl was well aware of the consequences. However, the petitioner is ready and willing to extend his cooperation in the investigation of the case, if he is provided with the privilege of bail. Mr. P. Borthakur, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam submitted that from the case record it reveals that there is an allegation of sexual relation of the accused petitioner with the victim with false promise of marriage. That apart, his earlier the bail petition was rejected by the learned Court below, after going through the case diary and having sufficient materials against the accused petitioner. Accordingly, Mr. Borthakur submitted that perusal of the case diary would be required, to pass necessary order in this regard. Page No.# 3/3 Hearing the submissions made by learned counsel for both sides, I have also perused the case record and the statement made in the FIR. Considering all these aspects of the case and also considering the length of detention already undergone by the accused petitioner, I find that further custodial interrogation may not be required. In view of this, I find it a fit case to extend the privilege of bail to the accused petitioner. Accordingly, it is provided that on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) only with one surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kamrup (M) at Guwahati, the accused/petitioner, namely, Ridip Talukdar @ Ridip Talukder be enlarged on bail, subject to the following conditions: (i) that the petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation by the Investigating Officer as and when required; (ii) that the petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; and (iii) that the petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kamrup (M) at Guwahati, without prior permission. In terms of above, this bail application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
