Page No.# 2/4 This is an application under Section 482 of BNSS, 2023 praying for grant of pre- arrest bail to the accused/petitioner, namely, Amor Kro who is apprehending arrest in connection with the Dokmoka P.S. Case No. 32/2025 (corresponding to G.R. Case No.273/2025), registered under Sections 61(2)/318(4)/316(2) of the BNS, 2023. The case diary is received and perused the same. It is submitted by Ms. Baruah, the learned counsel that the present accused petitioner is innocent and he is no way connected with the alleged offence. The FIR is lodged only on suspicion that the person who came in an Alto K-10 vehicle might have involved in the alleged offence. However, it is a fact that the petitioner took an amount of Rs. 1 lakh from Sukursing Terang as loan for treatment of his mother. That apart he is no way connected with the alleged offence. However he is ready and willing to extend his cooperation in the further investigation of this case, if he is provided with the privilege of pre-arrest bail. The learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that the present accused petitioner is a poor man and earns his livelihood by some doing labour work and as such, he is not in a position to provide any job to any person as alleged in the FIR. Mr. Borthakur, the learned Addl. P.P., Assam raised objection and submitted in this regard that Rs.1 lakh has already been recovered from the FIR named co- accused, namely, Sukursing Terang but from the statement of the co-accused and other materials available in the case diary, it is seen that the present accused petitioner is also involved in the alleged crime, wherein he was one of the occupants of the Alto K-10 vehicle, whereby the offence was committed. Page No.# 3/4 Accordingly, he raised objection and submitted that it may not be a fit case to extend the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the accused/ petitioner at this stage. Hearing the submissions made by learned counsel for both sides and considering all aspects of the case, this Court is of the opinion that one chance may be given to the present accused petitioner to extend his cooperation in further investigation of the case and accordingly, I find it to be a fit case to extend the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the present petitioner with certain conditions, only to cooperate with the investigation of this case. Accordingly, it is provided that in the event of arrest of the accused/petitioner, namely, Amor Kro in connection with the Dokmoka P.S. Case No. 32/2025 (corresponding to G.R. Case No.273/2025), he shall be enlarged on bail on executing a bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) only, with one surety of like amount, to the satisfaction of the arresting authority, subject to the following conditions:- (i) that the petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation by the Investigating Officer within 7 (seven) days; (ii) that the petitioner shall fully co-operate with the investigation of the case and will appear before the Investigating Officer as and when required in connection with the investigation of the aforesaid P.S. case; and (iii) 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/them from disclosing Page No.# 4/4 such facts to the Court or to any police officer. With the above observations and directions, the present pre-arrest bail petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
