Page No.# 1/3 GAHC010046252026 2026:GAU-AS:4022 THE GAUHATI HIGH COURT (HIGH COURT OF ASSAM, NAGALAND, MIZORAM AND ARUNACHAL PRADESH) Case No. : Bail Appln./733/2026 RAJU ALI S/O JAMIR ALI VILL-SOLMARI P.S. RANIGA DIST. KAMRUP, ASSAM VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REP BY PP, ASSAM Advocate for the Petitioner : MS G DEKA, Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE MITALI THAKURIA ORDER 19-03-2026 Heard Ms. G. Deka, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. P. Borthakur, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam. 2. This is an application filed under Section 483 BNSS, praying for grant of bail to the petitioner, namely, Raju Ali, who was arrested in connection with Page No.# 2/3 Dispur P.S. Case No. 72/2026 registered under Sections 304(2) of BNS, 2023. 3. Case diary received. Perused the same. 4. It is submitted by Ms. Deka, learned counsel that the present petitioner is in custody since last 31 days and the I.O. got sufficient opportunity to interrogate him, keeping him in custody. That apart, the gold chain which alleged to have snatched by the petitioner is also recovered during investigation and hence, further custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be necessary for the purpose of investigation of the case. 5. Mr. Borthakur, learned APP submitted in this regard that that some of the gold ornaments were recovered from the possession of the co-accused, i.e., one shop owner, but till date as per the information he received from the I.O., the informant has not identified the gold chain and he has not taken the zimma or it is not handed over to him. He further submitted that the accused petitioner seems to be a habitual offender. 6. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for both sides, without going into the other detail of the case only considering the length of detention already undergone by the petitioner and the fact that the gold chain has already been recovered, I find that further custodial detention of the petitioner may not be necessary for the purpose of investigation of the case and accordingly, I find it a fit case to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the accused/petitioner, namely, Raju Ali, be released on bail in connection with Dispur P.S. Case No. 72/2026 registered under Sections 304(2) of BNS, 2023, on furnishing a bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) only, with one surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the Page No.# 3/3 learned CJM, Kamrup (M), Guwahati 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
