PIN- 783129 VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REP BY THE PP ASSAM ------------ Advocate for : MR. P PATHAK Page No.# 3/4 Advocate for : PP ASSAM appearing for THE STATE OF ASSAM BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MANASH RANJAN PATHAK ORDER 10.03.2025 Heard Mr. A Roshid, learned counsel for the applicants and Mr. B Sharma, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam for the State. 2. Mr. A Roshid, learned counsel for the applicants submitted that apprehending their arrest in Lakhipur Police Station Case No. 11/2025 registered under Sections 61(2)/316(2) (5)/318(3)(4) of BNS, 2023 read with Section 7(3) of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, corresponding to G.R. No. 63/2025, the applicants preferred the connected pre-arrest bail application, being AB No. 502/2025 on 25.02.2025. 3. The Court by order dated 03.03.2025 granted interim bail to the applicants in said Lakhipur P.S. Case No. 11/2025, fixing the matter on 21.03.2025 for production of the up-to- date case diary. 4. Mr. Roshid, learned counsel for the applicants submitted that inadvertently in the cause title and prayer portion of said AB No. 502/2025, instead of “the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998” it was wrongly typed as “Lottery Registration Act, 1998”. Even in the order dated 03.03.2025 passed in the connected AB No. 502/2025, it has been wrongly mentioned as “Lottery Registration Act, 1998”. 5. As such, by this interlocutory application, the applicants have prayed for correction of said Lottery Registration Act, 1998 as typed in the cause title and prayer portion of said AB No. 502/2025 as well as in the order dated 03.03.2025 as “the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998” in place of “Lottery Registration Act, 1998”, to which Mr. B Sharma, learned APP, Assam has no objection. 6. Applicants are accordingly allowed to correct the cause title and prayer portion of said AB No. 502/2025 by substituting the “ the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998” in place of “Lottery Page No.# 4/4 Registration Act, 1998” by hand with due initial of Mr. A Roshid, learned counsel for the applicants. 7. Further, it is made clear that in the order dated 03.03.2025, wherever the word “Section 7(3) of the Lottery Registration Act, 1998” exists, the same shall be read as “Section 7(3) of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998”. 8. As the order dated 03.03.2025 passed in AB No. 502/2025 has been corrected by this order today, the applicants are now directed to appear before the concerned Investigating Officer of said Lakhipur P.S. Case No. 11/2025 on or before 17.03.2025. 9. This order shall be read together with the order dated 03.03.2025 passed in the connected AB No. 502/2025. 10. List the connected AB No. 502/2025 on 27.03.2025, for production of the up-to-date case diary pertaining to Lakhipur P.S. Case No. 11/2025. 11. With the above observation and direction, this interlocutory application stands allowed to the extent above. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
