The FIR in connection with which the petitioners were arrested on 15.09.2026, was lodged by one Baikuntha Kalita, stating, inter alia, that unknown thieves have stolen five numbers of cattle from his cowshed. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners were arrested only on suspicion and no specific materials were collected against them. 5.

Upon consideration of the submissions made by the learned counsel for all the parties, and, more so, in view of the fact that the petitioners were arrested only on suspicion and on the alleged confession made by them before the Police, this Court finds it fit to enlarge the petitioners on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 20,000/-, with one local surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the CJM, Kamrup (Metro), under the following conditions:- i) the petitioners shall appear before the Investigating Officer/concerned Court, as and when called for. ii) the petitioners shall not hamper and tamper with the evidence of the case, and/or influence the witnesses; and iii) the petitioners shall not leave their residence without prior permission of the Investigating Officer/jurisdictional Court. 7.
