The allegation as reflected in the FIR is that the petitioner, on 11.07.2026 grabbed a street dog by the neck and forcibly placed it inside a four-wheeler vehicle and fled from the spot. 4. The petitioner was arrested and forwarded to the court on 19.07.2026, and since then, he has spent about 12 days in custody.

Public Prosecutor submits that the dog is yet to be recovered, and therefore, perusal of the CD is necessary. However, having regard to the nature of the allegation and the fact that the petitioner apparently is not required for further interrogation, the prayer for bail is allowed. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner named above shall be released on bail in connection with connection with Dibrugarh Police Station Case No. 237/2026 under Section 303(2) of BNS, 2023, on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount to the Page No.# 3/3 satisfaction of the learned Eleka Magistrate/Jurisdictional Court. 7.
