It is submitted by Mr. Azad that a false and concocted FIR has been lodged against the present accused/petitioner who is no way involved in the present case. He further submitted that as per the FIR, the present petitioner and the co-accused has demanded money for settlement of the case from the two accused-persons who were forwarded in Abhayapuri P.S. Case No. 140/2025 and out of the two accused/persons one of the accused/person is the father of the co-accused Loknath Hussain. More so, the petitioner is in custody since last 20 days and considering his length of detention, he may be released on bail. He will extend his cooperation in further investigation of this case, if he is granted with privilege of regular bail. 5. Mr. Borthakur, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted in this regard that there is an involvement of the present accused/petitioner. Thus, Mr. Borthakur submitted that there are incriminating materials against the present petitioner and that apart from the materials available in the Case Diary it also reveals that in some earlier occasion this petitioner also involved in demanding money in the name of settlement of the case. 6. Considering the entire submissions made by learned counsel for both sides, materials in the Case Diary and all aspects of the case, I find that further custodial interrogation may not be necessary for further investigation of this case and extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner.
