Mohammad, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. R.J. Baruah, learned APP for the State. 2. This bail application under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 praying for granting bail to the petitioner, namely, Sarifuddin Ahmed @ Sarif Uddin Ahmed, in connection with Patacharkuchi P.S. Case No. 09/2026 under Sections 331(4)/305 of the BNS, 2023. Page No.# 2/2 3. The Case Diary (CD) called for has been received. 4. The ground of arrest of the petitioner is shown to be the analysis of the CDR and tower dump data by the Cyber Cell, Bajali, which allegedly shows the presence of the accused person at the place of occurrence during the midnight of 16.01.2026–17.01.2026. However, the Case Diary does not reveal recovery of any incriminating item from the petitioner, and the primary basis for his arrest appears to be the analysis of the CDR. 5. Custodial interrogation was allowed for the purpose of revealing their role, participation, and the alleged planning of the offence, which required verification through custodial interrogation. 6. The petitioner has already been in custody for 39 days. 7. In the circumstances, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioner may be granted bail at this stage, subject to his cooperation in the investigation. 8. Accordingly, the petitioner is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- with two sureties of the like amount, to the satisfaction of the learned jurisdictional court in connection with Patacharkuchi P.S. Case No. 09/2026 under Sections 331(4)/305 of the BNS, 2023. 9. The learned jurisdictional court shall be at liberty to impose such conditions as may be deemed necessary to ensure their participation in the investigation. The petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation, and in case of failure to do so, the investigating authority shall be at liberty to bring the same to the notice of the learned jurisdictional court for cancellation of bail.
