It is submitted that on behalf of the petitioner that besides violation of Section 35(3) of the BNSS, all the Sections except Section 316(2) mentioned in the FIR are bailable.

Public Prosecutor opposes the prayer for bail at this stage. 5. However, considering the fact that prima facie no non-bailable offence is attracted in the given allegations reflected in the FIR and also considering the fact that the petitioner has already spent about 10 days in custody, further detention of the petitioner is not considered necessary. 6. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed. 7. The accused abovenamed shall be released on bail of Rs. 50,000/- with Page No.# 3/3 two surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kokrajhar Court, BTR, Assam. 8. Considering the above, this Bail Application is disposed off as allowed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
