J HAZARIKA,MR M CHOUDHURY,SHWETA SARMA Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE MITALI THAKURIA ORDER 11-02-2026 Heard Mr. M. Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. P. Borthakur, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State respondent. 2. This is an application filed under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023, praying for grant of bail to the accused/petitioner, namely, Sukursing Terang, who was arrested in connection with Dokmoka P.S. Case No. 32/2025, registered under Sections 61(2)/318(4)/316(2) of the BNS, 2023. 3. Case diary received. Perused the same. Page No.# 2/3 4. It is submitted by Mr. Choudhury, learned counsel that the petitioner is innocent and he has not committed any such offence as alleged in the FIR. However, it is a fact that there was some monetary transactions between the petitioner and the informant and prior to the incident there was some transactions of money and for some business rivalry only, the present FIR has been lodged by the informant with some false and concocted allegations. The petitioner is in custody for the last 52 days and hence considering his length of detention, he may be released on bail. The accused petitioner being a permanent resident of the addressed locality, there is no chance of absconding, rather he will cooperate with the I.O. in the further investigation of the case. 5. Mr. Borthakur, learned Addl. PP submitted in this regard that there are sufficient materials in the case diary against the present petitioner and apart from that Rs.1,00,000/- has already been recovered from the possession of the petitioner, but the remaining amount of Rs.9,00,000/- is yet to be recovered. As per the note of the I.O. the remaining amount of money may be recovered only on arrest of one of the co-accused and the police is in search of the co-accused and he could not be apprehended in the case till date. 6. Heard the submissions made by the learned counsel for both sides, I have also perused the case diary as well as the case record. From the case diary it is seen that there are some materials against the present accused petitioner, but from the stage of investigation it is seen that it may not be possible for the I.O. to submit the charge sheet in the case within the statutory period. More so, without going into the detail merit of the case, only considering the period of detention already undergone by the petitioner, I find that the I.O. got sufficient opportunity to interrogate the petitioner, keeping him in custody and hence I find that further custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be required for the purpose of investigation of the case and therefore, I find it a fit case to grant the petitioner Page No.# 3/3 the privilege of bail. 7. Accordingly, the accused/petitioner, namely, Sukursing Terang, be released on bail in connection with Dokmoka P.S. Case No. 32/2025, registered under Sections 61(2)/318(4)/316(2) of the BNS, 2023, on furnishing a bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) only, with one surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Karbi Anglong, subject to the following conditions:- (i) that the petitioner shall fully co-operate with the investigation of the case and shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when required in connection with the investigation of the aforesaid P.S. Case and (ii) that the petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him/her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer. 8. With the above observation and direction, this bail application stands disposed of. 9. Return the case diary herewith. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
