HAJO DIST. KAMRUP, ASSAM VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REP BY THE PP, ASSAM Advocate for the Petitioner : MS. S K NARGIS, MS N SULTANA,MS S BEGUM Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE MITALI THAKURIA O R D E R Date : 18.03.2026. Heard Ms. S.K. Nargis, learned counsel for the accused petitioner. Also heard Mr. P. Borthakur, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam for the State respondent. This is an application under Section 483 of BNSS, praying for grant of bail to Page No.# 2/3 the accused/petitioner, namely, Sabinur Ali who has been arrested on 20.12.2025, in connection with the Hajo P.S. Case No. 532/2025, under Sections 103(1) of the BNS, 2023. The case diary is received and perused the same. It is submitted by Ms. Nargis, the learned counsel that the accused petitioner is in the custody since last 88 days w.e.f. 20.12.2025 and hence, considering his length of detention, he may be released on bail. She further submitted that the accused petitioner himself had surrendered before the I.O., as he was called for. However, the marriage of the accused petitioner was fixed with the deceased victim but prior to the solemnization of marriage, the unfortunate incident had happened. However, considering his length of detention, his prayer for bail may be considered and he is ready and will to extend his cooperation in further investigation of the case. Mr. Borthakur, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted in this regard that it is a fact that the accused petitioner had love relationship with the victim and he used to visit to her house frequently, and even on the day of incident, he had a talk with the victim, as per the statement made by the witnesses. At present, the accused petitioner is a strong suspect in the case but it is a fact that till date, the I.O. could not submit the charge sheet in the case. Hearing the submissions made by the learned counsels for both sides, without going detail into the merit of the case and the length of detention of 88 days, I find that further custodial detention may not be required for the purpose of investigation. Page No.# 3/3 Accordingly, it is provided that on furnishing a bond of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand) only with one surety of like amount, to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class at Hajo, the accused petitioner, namely, Sabinur Ali, will be enlarged on bail, subject to the following conditions: (i) 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 from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (ii) that the petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class at Hajo, without prior permission, and (iii) that the petitioner shall submit copy of his Aadhar Card and PAN Card before the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class at Hajo. In terms of above, this bail application stands allowed and disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
