The gist of the case as has been narrated in the FIR lodged on 28.09.2025 by one SI (UB), Chitramoni Das of the Cyber Police Station, Panbazar, Guwahati, are that the accused-applicant has posted a message on Facebook, which is in the nature of “Gen Z Ulai Aahibo Lagibo”, after the said demise of late Zubeen Garg, the iconic singer of Assam.

This Court has heard the submissions so advanced by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant and also the submission of the learned Addl. P.P. representing the State. 5. It is seen from the FIR dated 29.09.2025, as well as the Forwarding Letter of the accused-applicant dated 29.09.2025, that the only allegation against the accused- applicant is that he had posted the aforementioned message in Facebook. Other than that, this Court could not find any other specific allegations against the accused- applicant. 6. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant that the accused-applicant was arrested on 28.09.2025 and since then he is inside the jail for 19 days. In view of the aforesaid, the learned counsel submits that since the accused- applicant has already spent 19 days behind the bar, no further custodial detention may be required for the police to investigate the matter, as there is no other allegation against the accused-applicant of committing any other crime/offences and therefore, he prays that the accused-applicant may be enlarged on bail. 7. The learned Addl. P.P. submits that this kind of message is not warranted in the Page No.# 3/3 background of the situation that the State of Assam is presently going through and therefore, without perusing the Case Diary, this Court should not allow the accused- applicant to go on bail, at this stage. 8. After considering the whole issue in details and going through the materials available on record, this Court finds it to be a fit case wherein, the accused-applicant can be granted the privilege of bail. Therefore, this Court directs the accused-applicant to be released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kamrup (M), Guwahati. 9. It is made clear that the accused-applicant shall co-operate with the Investigating Authority and he shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called for. 10. With the above observations and directions, the instant bail application is disposed of as allowed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
