Page No.# 3/3 3. On 29.01.2024, an FIR was lodged before police, wherein it was alleged that some boys belonging to a particular organization had threatened the informant because the informant, who used to run a restaurant did not have Assamese speaking employees. Thereafter, very recently the petitioners were arrested by Jorhat police in another case. When they were released on bail by the courts, they were again arrested. 4. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsels of both sides. 5. It may be stated that Mr. Das has objected to this bail application. 6. The petitioners have already spent 20 days in judicial custody. 7. This Court is of the opinion that under the given circumstances of the case, the petitioners do not deserve to be detained in custody for any further period of time. Therefore, their bail application is allowed. 8. It is hereby directed that the petitioners, Sri Montu Dutta, 2. Sri Ritu Saikia, 3. Sri Partha Pratim Dutta, 4. Sri Prasanta Dutta, 5. Sri Bhaben Duwarah, 6. Sri Sujit Dutta & 7. Sri Aditya Sagar Paniphukan, who were arrested in connection with Latashil P.S.
