JUSTICE RAJESH MAZUMDAR ORDER Date : 25.03.2026 Heard Mr. F.A. Laskar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Also heard Ms. S.H. Bora, learned Addl. P.P for the State of Assam. 2. This petition has been filed under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023, whereby the petitioners, namely, Biswajit Keot, Montu Bhumij, Puran Rai, Biswajit Tanti, Rajesh Rikiason, has prayed for granting pre-arrest bail, apprehending arrest in connection with Udharbond P.S. Case No. 250/2018, under Sections 143/ 336/ 326/ 427/ 307 of IPC R/W Section 3 of the PDPP Act 1984, corresponding to G.R. Case No. 5718/ 2018. 3. The investigation has resulted in a charge sheet under Sections 143/ 336/ 326/ 427/ 307 of IPC and the all accused/petitioners are indicated as an absconder. 4. From the record, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that the learned court below followed the proper procedure by issuing summons first, followed by BWA which was served and thereafter issued NBWA and therefore, Page No.# 3/4 there is no infirmity in the said proceedings. 5. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that they wishe to appear and co-operate with the trial but the penal provisions being sessions triable; perhaps, the Magistrate may not grant bail on such appereance. 6. In view of the stage of the case and to enable the trial to move ahead, I am inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, in the event of arrest of the accused-petitioners, they shall be released on bail in connection with Udharbond P.S. Case No. 250/2018, under Sections 143/ 336/ 326/ 427/ 307 of IPC, on each furnishing bail bonds of Rs.30,000/- with two suitable surety each 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 appear before the learned court below and co-operate with the trial; (b) shall not hamper or tamper with evidence; and (c) shall not intimidate or harass the family members of the victim. 9. Violation or breach of condition(s) shall entail cancellation of the bail. Page No.# 4/4 10. The anticipatory bail application stands allowed and disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
