SIPAJHAR DIST. DARRANG, ASSAM VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REP. BY THE PP, ASSAM Advocate for the Petitioner : MR M HOQUE, MS J BEGUM Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HONOURABLE MRS. JUSTICE SHAMIMA JAHAN ORDER 24.09.2025 Heard Mr. M. Hoque, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms. N. Das, learned Addl. P.P., Assam for the State. By this application filed under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023 the Page No.# 2/3 petitioner, viz., Arjina Begum @ Arjuna Begum has prayed for pre-arrest bail in connection with Sipajhar Police Station Case No.127/2025 registered under Section 108 of the BNS, 2023. The F.I.R. dated 14.07.2025 reveals that the petitioner and the victim had a love relationship and that they were also supposed to get married but then it is alleged that in the month of April, 2025 there was a quarrel between the petitioner and the victim due to which the victim consumed poison as a result of which the victim was admitted to the hospital and that after 14 days i.e. on 17.04.2025 the victim expired. Mr. Hoque, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a 19 years old girl, who was pursuing her studies and that due to the said incident she has not been able to attend her College classes. He also submits that the F.I.R. was lodged after three months of the expiry of the victim. Ms. N. Das, learned Addl. P.P. for the State submits that it is clearly stipulated in the F.I.R. that the victim boy consumed poison only due to the quarrel between the petitioner and the victim boy and that the boy died as a result of the same. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the records. It is noticed that the F.I.R. was lodged belatedly after many months of the expiry of the victim and the allegation against the petitioner is only that there Page No.# 3/3 was a quarrel between the victim with her as a result of which the victim boy consumed poison and subsequently expired. In view of the above, this Court finds it fit that the petitioner may be released on pre-arrest bail on furnishing of a bail bond of Rs.20,000/- with one local surety of the like amount to satisfaction of the arresting authority under the following conditions :- (1) That the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called for. (2) That the petitioner shall not tamper with the evidence and shall not influence the witnesses connected with the case. (3) That the petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the arresting authority without prior permission. The Anticipatory Bail Application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
