ORDER 20-08-2025 Heard Mr. N. Uddin, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. P. Borthakur, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State respondent. 2. This is an application under Section 483 BNSS, 2023 praying for grant of bail to
Page No.# 2/3 the accused/petitioner, who was arrested in connection with Sessions Case No. 136/2025 arising out of Tingkhong P.S. Case No. 49/2025 under Sections 118(1)/109 of the BNS, pending in the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge, Dibrugarh. 3. It is submitted by Mr. Uddin, learned counsel that the petitioner is innocent and he has not committed any such offence as alleged in the FIR. The FIR was lodged by his own mother with the allegation that the petitioner assaulted her with sharp weapon, but from the order dated 22.07.2025, passed in Sessions Case No. 136/2025, it reveals that the mother herself appeared before the learned Sessions Judge with an affidavit stating that she sustained the injuries by falling over sharp weapon. 4. He further submitted that the case has already been charge sheeted and charges have already been framed and hence, further custodial detention of the petitioner may not be necessary for the purpose of trial of the case. 5. Mr. Borthakur, learned Addl. PP submitted in this regard that from the order passed by the learned Sessions Judge in Sessions Case No. 136/2025, it also reveals that the bail application of the petitioner was rejected on the ground that the vital witnesses are yet to be examined by the prosecution. 6. Considering the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and also considering the length of detention already undergone by the petitioner, who is in custody since 15.06.2025, I find that further custodial detention of the petitioner is not required for the purpose of trial of the case and as such, I find it a fit case to grant the privilege of bail to the petitioner. 7.
Accordingly, the accused/petitioner, namely, Ranjan Bokolial, be released on bail on furnishing a bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty thousand) only, with one surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge Dibrugarh, subject to the following conditions:- (i) that the petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of
Page No.# 3/3 the case so as to dissuade him/her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; and (ii) that the petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge Dibrugarh, without prior permission. 8. With the above observation and direction, this bail application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
