MUKALMUA, DIST. NALBARI, ASSAM VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REP BY THE PP, ASSAM Advocate for the Petitioner : MR G DEKA, MR R CHETRY Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH MAZUMDAR ORDER Date : 23-04-2026 Heard Mr. G Deka, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. K.K. Parasar, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor appearing in the matter. This is an application praying for bail under Section 483 of the BNSS in Page No.# 2/3 connection with Rangia P.S. Case No. 40/2026, where the petitioner was arrested on 22.02.2026. The allegations levelled in the FIR are that some persons had entered into the factory premises and caused damage to the electrical transformer and stole copper wire; the petitioner is not named in the FIR. It is noticed that the Trial Court, by an order dated 06.03.2026, has already granted bail to the other co-accused in the matter. The grounds for bail was that further detention of the accused person did not appear to be required in view of the time lapsed from the date of incident and the investigation. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor has objected to the bail prayer of the petitioner stating that releasing him on bail at this stage may hamper or tamper with the investigation. This Court is of the view that, in view of the release of the other co-accused in the matter and the length of detention suffered by the petitioner, he is entitled to the privilege of a bail. Accordingly, it is directed that the petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing a bond of Rs. 25,000/- with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the SDJM, Rangia. The SDJM, Rangia shall be at liberty to impose such other conditions as may be required upon the petitioner to ensure his participation in the investigation. Page No.# 3/3 The Bail Application accordingly stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
