It is submitted by Mr. Das, learned counsel that the petitioner is innocent and nothing has been recovered from his possession, during search by police. However, after obtaining the order of interim pre-arrest bail, the petitioner appeared before the I.O. and cooperated in the investigation of the case. 5. However, the petitioner is still ready and willing to extend his cooperation in the further investigation of the case, if he is granted with the privilege of pre arrest bail. 6. Mr. Goswami, learned APP submitted that it is a fact that there is no recovery from the possession of the petitioner but as per the report of the I.O. he might have concealed the gold ornaments which he received in the present case. However, the petitioner appeared before the I.O. and cooperated in the investigation of the case and his statement has also been recorded by police. 7. Mr. Goswami, learned APP further submitted that as per the police report another case is also registered against the present petitioner. 8. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and the materials available in the case diary and the conduct of the petitioner, this Court is of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be necessary for the purpose of investigation and accordingly, I find it a fit case to extend the privilege of pre arrest bail. 9. In view of this, the interim bail granted to the present petitioner vide order dated 13.03.2026 is hereby made absolute on the same terms and conditions with a further direction to the petitioner to appear before the I.O. of the case as Page No.# 3/3 and when his cooperation will be required for the purpose of investigation of the case. 10.
