D K AGARWALA Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJAN MONI KALITA ORDER Date : 16-02-2026 Heard Mr. D.K. Agarwala, the learned counsel appearing for the accused applicant. Also heard Mr. R.J. Baruah, the learned Addl. P.P., Assam appearing for the State respondent. 2. This is an application filed under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023, praying Page No.# 2/3 for grant of bail to the accused, namely Nasim Akram in connection with Murajhar P.S. Case No.235/2025 registered under Sections 152/192/196(1)/ 197/353 of the BNS, 2023. 3. The only allegation against the accused applicant is that he had made a social media post on Facebook as “Before every election, we see there is a bomb blast like this, and after that there is story.” 4. Mr. D.K. Agarwala, the learned counsel appearing for the accused applicant submits that the statement is vague and being a citizen, the accused applicant had made the statement without having any intention to bring in any communal enmity amongst the citizens of India. He submits that the accused applicant is ready to face the trial and abide by whatever condition this Court deems fit. 5. Mr. R.J. Baruah, the learned Addl. P.P., on the other hand, submits that charge-sheet in the instant case has already been filed and there are materials suggesting the accused applicant’s intention of causing social disorder amongst the citizens which is unwarranted. Therefore, he opposes the bail at this stage. 6. This Court has gone through the Trial Court records that has been produced before this Court as well as heard the submissions of the respective counsel appearing for the parties. It is seen that the accused applicant was granted interim bail on 28.11.2025, whereafter, the charge-sheet was filed. Taking into account the entire facts of the case and since charge-sheet has already been filed in the instant case, this Court does not find any reason to cancel the interim bail, which has been granted by a Coordinate Bench of this Court. 7. In view of the above, the interim bail so granted on 28.11.2025 is made absolute with the same terms and conditions as has been put by the Coordinate Page No.# 3/3 Bench in the order dated 28.11.2025. 8. In view of the aforesaid directions, this bail application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
