In this context Mr. Khan, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is a lady and she is behind the bars since last 47 days and thus the Investigating Officer has got sufficient time for her custodial interrogation. However, she is ready and willing to cooperate with the Investigating Officer in investigation of this case, if she is released on bail. 6. Mr. Kaushik, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted in this regard that there are sufficient incriminating materials against the present petitioner and the contraband was also allegedly recovered from her possession and apart from that she is a also a habitual offender. However, it is submitted that the Investigating Officer could not collect the FSL till date. 7. Considering the submissions made by learned counsels for both sides, without going into detail of the merit of the case, only considering the length of detention, I find it proper to extend the privilege of bail to the present petitioner. 8. Accordingly, the accused/petitioner is released on bail on furnishing a bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) only with one surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Kamrup (M).
