It is also submitted that out of the charge-sheeted Sections, except Section 76 (corresponding to Section 354 IPC earlier) the other penal provisions are Magistrate triable. 5. However, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Mr. K. Baishya in the given facts and circumstances and considering the fact that the case is at the stage of trial, after completion of investigations - custodial detention of the accused may not be necessary and further, on the basis of the materials available, I find it possible to dispose of the matter. 6. Accordingly, it is provided that in the event of arrest of the petitioners, named above, in connection with above mentioned case, they shall be released on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- each with a suitable surety each of the like amount, to the satisfaction of the arresting authority.
