Also heard Mr. D.P. Goswami, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. 2. This petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, whereby the petitioner, namely, Mahidul Page No.# 2/3 Islam, has prayed for granting pre-arrest bail, apprehending arrest in connection with Dispur P.S. Case No. 877/2025 under Section 87 of BNS, 2023. 3. The gist of the allegation in the FIR dated 27.10.2025 is that the accused person kidnapped the minor daughter of the informant, aged 16 years and thereafter, his family was also trying force her into marriage. 4. The case diary has been received. 5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State submits in the statement recorded before the learned Magistrate during investigation and recovery, she stated about love affair and voluntarily going with the accused. However, the girl is stated to be aged 16 years. 6. Nevertheless, I am of considered view that granting of bail in this case would not prejudice the remaining investigation. 7. Accordingly, in the event of arrest of the accused-petitioner, he shall be released on bail in connection with Dispur P.S. Case No. 877/2025 under Section 87 of BNS, 2023, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.30,000/- with one suitable surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting authority. 8. The direction for bail is further subject to the condition(s) that the accused-petitioner: (a) shall render cooperation with the remaining investigation; (b) shall not hamper or tamper with evidence; (c) shall not try to influence any witnesses; Page No.# 3/3 (d) shall be available for trial, if one commences; and (e) shall not intimidate or harass the family members of the victim. 9.
